The large scale disaster that happened on March 11th caused many shortages and people had to rely on limited resources for their daily needs. On one talk show instructions were given on how to create a toilet out of cardboard, tape and plastic bags. Basically, one box was used as the body of the toilet while a seat, lid and weight supporting bracing was attached to it. The plastic garbage bag was place into it to retain the waste products and then removed when necessary. Of course they recommended using non transparent black garbage bags for obvious reasons.
In the months that passed after the quake, designers developed makeshift "rooms" out of cardboard. Basically these are a form of partitioning that could be set up in auditoriums, gymnasiums, etc to create private spaces for refugees to live in.
