Odd

For the Japanese male (or indeed female) who is utterly besotted by breasts but at the same time doesn’t have a companion whose mammaries they can maul, help is luckily at hand with this previously posted breast pillow.

However, while that’s all well and good, for those with more of a penchant for the posterior, there was little in the way of relief, until now that is, as thankfully that has all changed with the introduction of this rather racy and real-looking recreation.

And if that wasn’t enough, it’s a product that also cleverly features a fanny, regardless of whether one speaks American, or British, English.

Japanese ladies after bigger or even better shaped breasts are currently well catered for, whereas those after beautiful bottoms have been sadly left a bit bereft. Well, until now that is, as those with a desire for a delectable derrière or even getting mauled by something mechanical can now happily rub their rump with this hand-like Hip Roller.

A device that is not only a little dodgy looking but also badly named, as the ‘hip’ being honed is patently the posterior and not part of the pelvis.

With many old and traditional Japanese buildings simply unceremoniously ripped down and replaced, it’s always nice to see some that have been lovingly retained or even restored; a couple of curtains and a perky pensioner regarded by most as reasonable requirements for a respectable amount of realism.

For one or two others, however, a more slapdash approach is deemed desirable, with plenty of plastic,

and particularly tape, seen as suitable in producing a facade that is functional,

if not exactly fetching.

Japan’s love of little things is legendary, with the Walkman in particular paving the way for a positive plethora of pocket-sized products; a compulsion that combined with a similar obsession with cuteness makes for a match made in heaven — or indeed hell if one harbours a hatred for Hello Kitty.

Yet such a fervour, at least for the former, can sometimes get a bit silly. Like this iron for example.

A bit of merchandise that’s so miniscule, it can only be necessary for neckties,

or one’s knickers.
