Photos.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>In Japan, Kenji Kawakami is famous for his tireless promotion of Chindogu: the art of the unuseless idea. Kawakami has developed an entire philosophy around these bizarre and logic-defying gadgets and gizmos, which must work but are actually entirely impractical. Created in the spirit of anarchy, unuseless inventions are not allowed to be patented or sold.</p><p>Fans of the unuseless will love this completely absorbing collection of 200 Chindogu, including: </p><ul> <li>the Drymobile (your laundry dries as you drive)</li> <li>the Solar-Powered Torch (never runs low on batteries)</li> <li>Duster Slippers for Cats (now the most boring job around the house becomes hours of fun--for your cat!)</li> <li>Walk 'n' Wash Ankle-Attachable Laundry Tanks (a perfect solution for the problems of inadequate exercise and hygiene)</li> <li>and many, many more.</li> </ul><p>These hilarious inventions have taken Japan by storm. Every one of the 200 items in <em>The Big Bento Box of Unuseless Japanese Inventions</em> has actually been manufactured to the highest standards, fully tested by pioneering members of the Japanese public, and documented in their unuselessness with photographs.</p>
