Xiaolin's Idea

1,Massage Bath Mat

A funny bath mat that people can use it to massage there foot when they are taking a shower.

2，Famous Hot spring Bath Salt in Japan

It looks like a tea bag with a cute label. Using the famous symbol in Japan such as FujiSan, Sakura and so forth.

3, Sock can and Zika-Tabi Jogging shoes

They are one kind of traditional socks in Japan.They are good for foot's health.My design is to use a special package to decrease the negative image of these socks.

Zika-Tabi is another unique shoes in Japan. They have the advantage of moving. So I combine this feature with the jogging shoes.

おちょこ[Otyoko] Japanese shot glass

Otyoko is Japanese traditional alcohol glass.
I propose you using Otyoko with whiskey, vodka, instead of shot glass, In USA.

Japanese Toilet + American Toilet

Japanese Toilet is closed, but American Toilet is open. It because of prevention of crime(drag,rape...).

But, Japanese Toilet, closed toilet is very comfortable and relax place. And It's prevent a luggage lifter.

My idea is "semi-closed Toilet" with frosted glass.

Yoko's idea

My idea is earpick&cottonswap.

There is no culture of the ear cleaning in the United States. Please do in the hospital.

Therefore, cause that hearing aid breaks down is earwax.

It can be a custom as for the ear cleaning.

Yuko's idea

I'd like you to introduce "GREEN TEA", which is so famous in Japan.

Green tea can support you from both outside and inside, because

we cannot only drink it for our health, but also can use it as a deodorant.
