I am going to put myself on the line here and say that this is unequivocally the most bizarre item that I have ever come across and, considering some of the bizarre items we have already featured on TFTS I accept that such a bold statement may come as somewhat of a shock to regular readers.
Very little information is available about this absurd device except to say that it costs 120,000 Yen and that the product description is given on the site as follows (and I quote):
“Fish bladder incased in glass container. Control air pressure in the container by operating the cylinder pump to move the fish bladder.”
And if you think this is bizarre, you haven’t seen anything yet…read on.
Below each of the pictures featured below I have included the exact product description of the item as given on the site.

“Create your own one-of-a kind ink rubbing of a fish
for its memento.”
(30,000 Yen)

A natural health meter in tablet form
(made of 18K gold) which you take internally
and examine the results externally.”
(80,000 Yen)

“Fish Beating Stick
A fish swatter and container,
equipped with a fisheye view lens.”
(150,000 Yen)

“A thrilling “fish cage” with a special device.
The hanging needles fall off from the roof in
time to the telephone time signal and may hit the
unlucky fish swimming at the bottom.”
(420,000 Yen)
You can view these and many more extremely odd, if not rather unnerving items by linking to this site.
Needless to say, as far as any forthcoming wacky items we feature on TFTS are concerned, these are certainly going to take some beating but, rest assured, the search is on.
