His preferred work spaces include a gold-clad bathroom, the tiles of which block “television and radio waves.” Nakamatsu claims that such shimmering insulation “encourages creative thinking.”
Then there's his underwater process, which features a “lack of oxygen to the brain.” Some of Yoshiro’s cherished inventions have therefore occurred “0.5 seconds before death.”
Finally, there’s the “vertical moving room,” which most would call an elevator.
Not Nakamatsu, who claims that it merely exists in order to help him “think better.”
And think better he surely has. His inventions are many: PyonPyon (“jumping
shoes with leaf springs on their soles” – don’t leave home without them), a self-defense wig (for fending off any perverse hairdressers), a toilet seat lifter (for those who just can’t be bothered), and “spectacles in the shape of eyes” (now wait, aren’t those contact lenses?)…
