A Japanese Soaking Bathtub Built for Two
We've talked about Japanese soaking tubs before and how they're becoming more popular in the U.S., but this is the first one I've seen that's divided in half to accommodate two people at once.
The stainless steel Yin-Yang bathtub from Diamond Spas features two separate soaking compartments (hey, as much as you love your significant other, you might prefer to have your own space while you wash) with benches on the bottom that allow the bathers to face each other. Since Japanese tubs are deeper than your standard U.S. lie-down bathtub, you'll be able to immerse most of your body, so no cold shoulders while you soak.

Not all modern japanese ofuro are in plastic.
If you are interested about deep soaking tubs or in general about the japanese bath culture and stress relief, refer to the following homepage for more information:

Bartok design manufactures wooden tubs made with hinoki or asnaro wood.
These "ofuro" are custom made in Japan as per your required shape/size.
