NERD NOTE: Literally translated, “Chindogu” means unusual tool. The term was coined by Kenji Kawakami, a Japanese investor and editor of the magazine “Mail Order Life.” Dan Papia then introduced it to the English-speaking world and popularized it as a monthly feature in his magazine, Tokyo Journal, encouraging readers to send in ideas. Kawakami and Papia collaborated on the English language book 101 Useless Japanese Inventions: The Art of Chindogu, first edition 1995.
