Despite Tokyo’s tremendous number of convenience stores that by and large now tend to have a toilet, many Japanese men of a certain age still have a puzzling predilection for peeing in public, with their desperate discharges often done with a total disregard to people passing by.
A propensity that quite possibly prompted the owner of this ideal-for-a-quick-wee wall to try and persuade them to at least piddle on somebody else’s property.
Although there again, as it somewhat surprisingly suggests that only spending a penny when standing is deemed undesirable, females and even fellas with a penchant for the previously posted Angel Lap Pillow are presumably still ok to pee.
Perhaps.

Had to read the kanjis to understand your connection. ç«‹å°ä¾¿ç¦ç…™ã€€(stand, pee, not allowed). 座å°ä¾¿ç¦ç…™ã€€(sit, pee, not allowed) would be Ok, wouldn’t it.

It certainly seems that way Peter. They only appear to have a problem with the standing variety!
Tor Hershman says
If dudes in Japan had more fart jokes then they’d pee less in public.

According to my dictionary, ç«‹å°ä¾¿ refers specifically to urinating “outdoors (by the roadside, against a wall, against a tree).” Look how educational Tokyo Times is getting.
