This document describes several unusual inventions from Japan, including a 360-degree panoramic camera, a 10-in-1 gardening tool kit, and devices for collecting rainwater, drying hair, and preventing heads from tilting while sleeping on trains. It also mentions high-tech toilets with bidet functions, bottom drying, automated lids and flushing. Additionally, it discusses a dress designed to prevent rape and muggings by allowing the wearer to blend into the background, as well as cat ear headbands and a wagging tail accessory that respond to the wearer's emotions.
18. Anti-Rape/Mugging Dress
Aya Tsukioka’s inventions
may seem really ridiculous at
first. However, if you were to
consider the heightened
emotions and adrenaline
involved in an attempted
crime together with inattention
blindness, this strategy is a
sound one. After all, most of
us have missed out the
dancing gorilla the first time
we saw the video in a
Psychology 101 class. Thus,
the ability to suddenly blend
into the background, a la
ninja, would be the last thing
on the criminal’s mind.
19. Washlets, The High Tech
Toilet of Japan
Functions:
A. Water jet to wash your butt.
B. Music to hide all
embarrassing noises.
C. Temperature control for
your toilet seat.
D. Hot air bottom dryers.
E. Gliding lids (no more
leaving the seat up or down).
F. Automated flushing.
