The Japanese are amazingly clever when it comes to design. Like someone else said, it gives lie to the idea that they are not very innovative. Even more mind-blowing that these items are the shows on Japanese TV that feature either house building (that blow away anything in the American version because space actually is at a premium in Japan) or competitions between paper-folding champions, or maze builders or anything you can think of. Japanese seem to have figured out how to master things that Americans just take for granted. I just stumbled on this post. The Japanese are amazingly clever when it comes to design.
