Jacket with in-built fan and crazy inventions that show Japan is already in 2075

Trying to beat the heat while working under sun? Fear no more. Try this clothing from Japan with a fan attached to it that releases heat, cooling the body.

A recent viral video shows how a small fan attached to a jacket sucks in the outside air, letting sweat evaporate, releasing heat through vaporisation and cooling the body. 

Say hello to this fan-tastic fashion revolution, Kuchofuku. Developed by the ingenious Ichigaya Hiroshi, who just so happens to be a former Sony engineer, these garments have fans installed right in the back! So, you can stay fresh and cut CO2 emissions like eco-warriors at the same time; all while looking cool (literally) in your Kuchofuku gear.

Now, Japan and its crazy innovations are hardly news. Sometimes, some of their inventions go viral and make the rest of the world wonder whether Japan is actually a few decades ahead of us or not.

Take a look at some of the interesting inventions that prove Japan is living years ahead.

1. Desk napper

Napping at your desk is not just a wild dream, but a hand-in-face reality in Japan. This "Headrest", while perhaps not THAT futuristic, it's still pretty darn cool.

2. Hand-holding robot

This ain't just any ordinary robot. It's a hand-holding marvel that is like having a robotic BFF with the power of a hug! 

They call it "Osampo Kanojo", which translates to "My Girlfriend in Walk". But wait, it's not just for romantic partners; this digital darling can be your platonic buddy too!

Covered in a skin-like gel that radiates warmth, it's like holding hands with a caring companion who's always there for you.

3. Woman's lap pillow

Japan has taken the art of comfort to a whole new level with the Hizamakura, or the 'Lap Pillow'.

The Hizamakura isn't just any ordinary pillow; it's a delightful foam creation shaped like a pair of a woman's legs, Japanese-style!

Weird or amazing? You decide.

4. The easy butter grater

Butter lovers around the world know the struggle of trying to delicately slather that creamy goodness onto warm toast without turning it into a bread battlefield.

So, this is where the easy butter grater steps in. Just like those fancy cheese graters you see at posh Italian restaurants, where they shower your pasta with strings of Parmesan perfection, the easy butter grater does it with butter instead of cheese. 

5. Head umbrella

No more juggling umbrellas like a circus performer when you are strolling through the rain and wind. 

6. Flying umbrella

We are still not over the umbrella inventions. A flying umbrella is truly a step into the future.
