Large number of crows have moved to the adjacent prefecture causing tons of problem,

someone created this "Iyagarasu" in 2009

Crows don't like the reflective surface

of these palm-sized windmill thingies

Farmers place them along the farm's border

and the rotating shiny surface keep crows away

8000 have been sold

Three items from a 100-Yen shop which I find interesting: hand-sized ironing board!

You just slip it on your hand

and make a portable ironing board and iron your shirt vertically

Second item: bag cap

You just attach it to any bags that you've opened

and create an instant pouring cap

The cap cover also makes a measuring cup

Finally we have: hair scoop

It has this elastic string and a ball thing on the reverse side

that you just flick to get hair into the trash can

to remove hair and stuff floating in bath water

Squid clip 590Yen/US$7

To prevent the squid from curling when grilling

just slip the clip into the squid

and grill as usual

easy to remove

the cooked squid stays flat
