Designed to replicate the relaxing experience of resting your head on a woman’s lap, the Himazakura Lap Pillow is still very popular in Japan, years after it was launched.
On the popular online store Japan Trend Shop, the Himazakura Lap Pillow is described as” soft and elastic to the touch, and perfectly suited to lying your head on. You’ll be surprised at how comfortable and real it feels!” Shaped as the lap of a woman kneeling in Japanese style, the polyurethane cushion recreates the comfortable feeling of resting your head on a woman’s lap, be it your mother or your loving wife. Launched during the mid 2000′s by the Trane Corporation and advertised as a homesickness-healing accessory, the lap pillow was an instant hit with lonely shoppers, and it’s still proving a best-seller today. The item is sold out on both Japan Trend Shop and Amazon Japan, and it’s flying off the shelves of duty free shops in Tokyo and Narita International airports, where most people buy it as a novelty gift for friends.
Considering the minuscule skirt this fake lap is wearing, I doubt it was designed to replicate relaxing childhood feelings. At least I don’t remember my mom ever wearing anything like that when caressing me. For more realistic childhood experiences I think you’re better off visiting one of Japan’s Ear-Cleaning parlors. continue for more HERE more stories HERE

This is what we call innovation, take out your time, relax and think what you can innovate, you will be shocked how what you innovated will make you smile to the bank, sadly nigerians are not innovative in nature, they are consumers of innovation.
