Chindogu is a Japanese art form of creating inventions that seem to help solve a problem, but when analyzed they bring about just as many problems with them, albeit different ones.

For some nice examples of chindogu, you could take a look at the nonist blog’s 12 examples of chindogu.

Notice the similarity between this photo and the photo of the man with the inverse umbrella.
