Kenji Kawakami (ć·äž èłąćž, Kawakami Kenji?, born 1946 in Nara Prefecture) is the inventor of the Japanese craze ChindĆgu.
Kenji Kawakami has founded the international ChindĆgu society. The current president is Dan Papia. ChindĆgu is the art of creating a product whose usefulness is precluded by its absurdity. ChindĆgu is related to Rube Goldbergism. ChindĆgu items must follow the ten tenets of ChindĆgu. Masks with receptacles for 20 cigarettes (allowing a pack a day smoker to save time by smoking his dosage all at once), Fish Face Cover (a kitchen aid that allows the user to cut the head off fish without having the dead fish stare back at them), and Training High Heels (high heeled women’s shoes with tiny training wheels attached to either side of the spike heel) are all examples of ChindĆgu.
