[0074] (Method of using the washbowl) The method of using the washbowl 10 of the first embodiment will be described. As shown in FIG. 16, the washbowl 10 of the first embodiment can be used by being installed on the counter CU, as shown in FIG. 17, by being installed so that a part thereof enters the inside of the counter CU, or as shown in FIG. 18, by being installed on the wall WA.

[0075] As shown in FIG. 16, when the washbowl 10 of the first embodiment is installed and used on the counter CU, the lower bottom surface portion 99b contacts the counter upper surface CS formed on the upper surface of the counter CU. The drain plug 20 of the lower bowl 14 is located inside the counter hole portion CH formed inside the counter CU downward from the counter opening CO formed on the counter upper surface CS. The drain pipe 300 is located below the drain plug 20 of the lower bowl 14 located inside the counter hole portion CH.

[0076] As shown in FIG. 17, when the washbowl 10 of the first embodiment is installed and used such that a part of it enters inside the counter CU, substantially the lower half of the lower bowl 14 is located inside the counter hole portion CH formed inside the counter CU downward from the counter opening CO. Therefore, the drain plug 20 of the lower bowl 14 is located inside the counter hole portion CH formed inside the counter CU downward from the counter opening CO formed on the counter upper surface CS. Also, the drain pipe 300 is located below the drain plug 20 of the lower bowl 14 located inside the counter hole portion CH. The drain pipe 300 is located inside the counter CU.

[0077] As shown in FIG. 18, when the washbowl 10 of the first embodiment is installed and used on the wall WA, a lower bowl hole portion 14H is formed horizontally from the third lower inner bowl portion 82 to the third lower outer bowl portion 96 of the lower bowl 14, and the plane side cross-sectional shape for installing the washbowl 10 on the wall WA is substantially circular. The bolt BO is inserted into the lower bowl hole portion 14H, and the portion of the bolt BO protruding from the lower bowl 14 is screwed into the wall screw hole portion WH formed on the side surface and formed inside the wall WA. The wall WA has a wall surface portion WS on the surface thereof, the front-side shape of which is a substantially planar shape. Horizontally from the wall surface portion WS toward the inside of the wall WA, there is a wall screw hole portion WH having a substantially circular planar-side cross-sectional shape for installing the washbowl 10 on the wall WA, and a screw groove is formed on the side surface thereof. If two or more lower bowl holes 14H and wall screw holes WH are provided inside the lower bowl 14, the washbowl 10 can be installed on the wall WA more firmly. Since the side cross-sectional shape of the third lower outer bowl portion 96 of the lower bowl 14 is a substantially arc shape and the front-side shape of the wall WA is the wall surface portion WS having a substantially planar shape, the third lower outer bowl portion 96 of the lower bowl 14 cannot be installed on the wall WA by attaching it to the wall surface portion WS of the wall WA. Therefore, an auxiliary member SP is interposed between the lower bowl 14 and the wall surface portion WS of the wall WA. The auxiliary member SP has a first auxiliary member surface portion SS1 on the surface facing the lower bowl 14, the side cross-sectional shape of which is a substantially arc shape, and a second auxiliary member surface portion SS2 on the surface opposite to the first auxiliary member surface portion SS1. Horizontally from the opening formed in the first auxiliary member surface portion SS1 toward the second auxiliary member surface portion SS2, there is an attachment auxiliary member hole portion SH having a substantially circular front-side shape for inserting a bolt BO. An opening having a substantially circular shape is formed at the end of the attachment auxiliary member hole portion SH on the side of the second auxiliary member surface portion SS2. The washbowl 10 of the first embodiment contacts the third lower outer bowl portion 96 of the lower bowl 14 and the first auxiliary member surface portion SS1 so that the lower bowl hole 14H and the attachment auxiliary member hole portion SH are continuous, and the attachment auxiliary member hole portion SH is interposed between the third lower outer bowl portion 96 of the lower bowl 14 and the wall WA so that the first auxiliary member surface portion SS1 and the wall surface portion WS of the wall WA are in contact with each other so that the attachment auxiliary member hole portion SH and the wall screw hole portion WH are continuous. Insert bolt BO into lower bowl hole 14H and attachment auxiliary member hole SH, and thread the portion of bolt BO protruding from attachment auxiliary member hole SH with wall screw hole WH, then install and use it on wall WA. In this way, drain plug 20 of lower bowl 14 is located inside counter hole CH formed inside counter CU downward from counter opening CO formed on upper surface CS of counter. Drain plug 20 of lower bowl 14 and drain pipe 300 are located at the lower part of lower bowl 14 when washbowl 10 of the first embodiment is installed and used on wall WA.

[0078] (Modification example) Washbowl 10 which is a modification example of the first embodiment will be mainly described with reference to FIG. 14.
