Western-style; Western format; Occidental style
A style, method, or design that follows Western (European/American) conventions, as opposed to traditional Japanese or Eastern styles.
Most commonly encountered in the phrase 洋式トイレ (Western-style toilet, i.e., a sit-down toilet), in contrast to 和式トイレ (Japanese-style squat toilet). This distinction is very practical for learners in Japan, as signs in public restrooms often indicate the type available.
