Do you have problems applying eye drops? Do you tend to miss your eye and waste several drops down your cheek?
Then, you need the funnel vision frames.
OK, these frames aren’t really available under your VSP vision care benefits. They are just one of many Chindogu creations by Japanese inventor Kenji Kawakami.
The Japanese literal translation of Chindogu is “unusual tools.”
At first glance, a Chindogu invention may seem like an interesting answer to the problem. But if the Chindogu was actually used, it would create possible ridicule for the user or cause other interesting problems. Because the inventions are not really useless but impractical, the term “unuseless” was also coined.
Inventor Kawakami also created the “Chindogu Ten Commandments,” which are:
- A chindogu must not actually be used
- It must have some function.
- It must have an anarchic element.
- It must be a tool for everyday life.
- It must not actually be put on the market.
- It must not be only for the purpose of humor.
- It must not be for black humor.
- “Dirty” jokes are forbidden.
- It must not be for profit.
- It must be usable internationally.
If you search images for “Kenji Kawakami” you’ll find other interesting Chindogu inventions.
