So summer is upon us (or already with us, depending where you are located) and you are running out of ideas as to how you can enjoy the great outdoors a little bit more?
Fear not, Jhypers. Here comes the Marugoto  Tamachan [JP], a watermelon cooler and  heater. That’s right, the machine doesn’t just [...]]]></description>

Let&#8217;s face it, clipping your toenails isn&#8217;t quite up there at your list of &#8220;things that I like to do at my free time&#8221;. It&#8217;s a chore, just like ironing your shirt and sorting your socks. Trust the Japanese to come up with the quick and easy solution to our toenail woes. Seriously, what would [...]]]></description>

Aren&#8217;t these some of the coolest toys that you ever come across in life? It&#8217;s both educational and fun, it&#8217;s form follows function. It&#8217;s modern mecha meets cultural roots.
Japanese toy giant Bandai is set to release a series of nifty kanji figures that transform into the shapes of the animals they represent. The shape-shifting critters, [...]]]></description>

Japan, it&#8217;s the one magical word that will conjure up endless images of beautiful natural sceneries, neons, advanced technologies, geishas, kimono, kabuki, sumo, anime, idols, sushi and  much much more.
Now take that image, add gold and chrome (lots of it), awnings, baffles, pipes, yet more neons, wings &#8230; and blend all of it into [...]]]></description>

Our good friend, Lisa Katayama of Tokyomango (and Boing Boing) fame recently wrote about the wonderful world of Kit Kat in Japan (and beyond). Lisa mentioned that &#8220;Sampling different flavoured Kit Kats has become a side hobby for some Japanese, and in turn Nestle produces unusual flavours for consumption — mostly in Japan, but also [...]]]></description>

Sorry for the slow updates as of late. The team at JHYPE had been in great demand outside the internet world for a change (i.e. working hard to pay off our christmas indulgences). We will eventually return to normality with more wacky and wonderful Japan.

House H is the latest project by Sou Fujimoto Architects in Tokyo. The house is an &#8220;experiment to find a balance between volumes, spaces and light&#8221;.
The non-designer crowd usually cringe at fancy designer phrases like this, but I have to say that Sou&#8217;s House H is pretty spot-on with that phrase.
There’re a lot of stairs [...]]]></description>

Let&#8217;s cut to the chase: these are Japan Self-Defense Force Sunglasses (or JSDF for short &#8211; we ♥ acronyms here in JHYPE) and, apparently, they&#8217;re officially endorsed by Japan&#8217;s armed forces.
Each lens boasts the ability to withstand an impact from an object up to 6.55mm (0.3in) traveling at 171km/h (or 106mph). Of course, those specs [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Golf, in Japan, is almost as important as its national sport (and pastime), Baseball. It&#8217;s especially popular among Japanese men in their mid 30s and 40s. Lately, though, golf is fast gaining popularity with the younger market.
This is evident from my last trip to Tokyo, where I spotted a sports clothing and apparel department store [...]]]></description>
