When asked what part of Japan they would most like to take back home, many foreigners respond by saying, "a Japanese bathtub."
I myself, on the other hand, usually answer with, "my wife."
It is also true that I am one of the great many foreigners smitten with the ofuro-style of bathing. I even know one Wisconsin farmer who fell so deeply in love with Japanese baths that, upon returning to America, he built one into his basement, using an upside down pig hut for the tub. Now, whenever he craves an ofuro, he goes whole hog.
