16 Weird but Brilliant Inventions You Can Only Find in Japan

4. Head umbrella

Showers and typhoons occur really often in Japan. These phenomena are so common that people have to have several umbrellas as they always break. There’s one more popular solution: a hands free head umbrella.

If you think it’s impossible to invent another kind of umbrella, you’re wrong. Asahi Power Services has recently introduced the first ever flying umbrella that protects you from rain, frees your hands, and just looks really great. We hope these devices aren’t too heavy: one umbrella weighs 11 lbs.

3. Notifying glasses

With these glasses, you won’t need to check your smartphone constantly. They’ll notify you about all texts, remind about your scheduled tasks, and inform you about any notes. You can also choose the color depending on the task and the audio signal won’t let you miss anything important.
