It was only after I brought this back from the library that I realised it contained one of the other books I had borrowed – 101 Unuseless Japanese Inventions. Oh well. Anyway, the additional portion had a few more interesting ones, though the majority were fairly silly.

One I liked was a chin-rest for you to sleep on while sitting at a table. I’d thought about building this before, but possibly with a complete face-rest. Another was mosquito nets that go around your exposed limbs and not completely over you, only the one that went around your head looked like it would smother you.
