Kenji Kawakami practices the art of Chindōgu, “unuseless” gadgets that technically do solve everyday problems, but not without serious embarrassment on the part of the user.

In this video, Kawakami demonstrates shoe umbrellas, a golf club that also dries your socks, and a portable subway strap that looks suspiciously useful.
