Weird Japanese inventions
Chindogu is the Japanese art of inventing ingenious everyday gadgets that, on the face of it, seem like an ideal solution to a particular problem. The Japanese are famous for their crazy inventions. Probably these products don’t use anyone, except the inventors themselves.

Crazy Japanese and their inventions!
First Pearl Harbor, and now this!
These don’t seem practical at all. Well except for that cockroach smasher thing.
toilet paper on head is actually very practical.
But there are more fools in the U.S.and there are many illiterate who still sleep with the sheep.
Frigging hilarious.Dude you crack me up.

Crazy Japanese and their inventions!
These are supposed to be impractical… it’s an art form.
Sometimes it is not the invented item that is important but the inventing activity. I am aware that the Japanese try to stimulate the inventiveness of citizenry. Universities and big corporations sponsor such activities.
absolute gold.

The hair noodle protector is actually a form of shower cap and has been widely available for decades. It is worn below the hair line for young kids getting their hair washed by their parents over the bath tub and prevents water and shampoo running into their eyes.
That cockroach swatter slippers look like something invented by Wile E. Coyote.

Totally fake. Never seen/heard of them. Sometimes it shocks me to see ppl actually believe in some of the fake stuff!
seen the toilet paper and noodle guard thing on home improvement a while back.
NOTE: Rant Ahead!
There’s always at least one person on every post who believes that simply because YOU have not seen, or heard of something, that it has to be photoshopped, faked, or it ceases to exist.
Hiyokochan, there’s a big world out there. Maybe if you went out and experienced some of it, you might be more aware of things that actually do happen, and do exist around you. Go, See, Do, and stop with the pathetic, uninformed posts already!
agree wiz hiyokochan, they aren’t japanese inventions. never seen and more, they are called chinese inventions in japan.
Hiyokochan, there a book where these images come from, it’s title is : “101 Unuseless Japanese Inventions: The Art of Chindogu”
Kenji Kawakami (Author), Dan Papia (Translator). And as can be seen it was written by a japanese. Haven’t seen does not imply it doesn’t exist, or ever existed.
japaneses…..
those wierd japs eh
