• a bowl portion having a bowl-shaped waste-receiving surface, a rim located along an upper edge thereof, and a recess formed below the waste-receiving surface, the recess having a bottom located below a pooled water level, and a wall connecting between the bottom and a lower edge of the waste-receiving surface;
• a first rim spout portion located on a first one of laterally opposite sides of the bowl portion, and configured to spout flush water toward a front end of the bowl portion so as to form a swirl flow which swirlingly flows along an inner peripheral surface of the rim;
• a second rim spout portion located on the other, second, side of the bowl portion, and configured to spout flush water so as to form a swirl flow having a same flow direction as that of the swirl flow formable by the first rim spout portion;
