101 Unuseless Japanese Inventions: The Art of Chindogu - Thryft

Ingenious, whimsical inventions; Japan's creative oddities showcased.

If you're keen on novelty and a touch of delightful absurdity, "101 Unuseless Japanese Inventions" might just tickle your fancy. These inventions, while they might not solve world hunger, capture a unique blend of practicality and pointlessness that could inspire laughter and provoke thought on what we deem as 'useful' in our daily lives. It's a light-hearted escape that celebrates out-of-the-box thinking.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
