30-year-old Yoshinori Kokenawa, the founder of Kokenawa Inc., came up with the idea for the Pocketoilet in 2019, while volunteering in the city of Nagano which had been devasted by Typhoon Hagibis.

现年 30 岁的 Kokenawa 公司创始人古手川义则 2019 年在遭受台风“海贝思”重创的长野市做志愿者时，萌生了口袋马桶这个创意。

This pandemic was also a time of panic – the  disease devasted both urban and rural areas, and a significant portion of its victims were young  adults, who are usually unaffected by seasonal flus.

这场大流行也是一个恐慌时期——这种疾病摧毁了城市和农村地区，很大一部分受害者是年轻人，他们通常不受季节性流感的影响。
