Synopsis

Back by popular demand! Following the massive success of 101 Unuseless Japanese Inventions, 99 more Chindogu to amaze, confuse and entertain!

101 Unuseless Japanese Inventions brought the Japanese cult of the Chindogu to an unsuspecting world. Designed to solve the niggling problems of modern life, these bizarre and logic-defying gadgets and gizmos have a tendency to fail completely – but also heroically, magnificently and hilariously.

Britain has gone Chindogu crazy, with hordes flocking to join the International Chindogu Society with their own mad inventions. Inspiration is at hand for these aspiring Chindoguists, with another 99 classic examples of the art of the unuseless.
