partial love

What is it about the Japanese penchant for artifice in creating synthetic comfort items? First there was the ude-makura (boyfriend’s arm pillow), only to be followed by the hiza-makura (girlfriend’s lap pillow) (via tokyopia). It’s even sitting in seiza position. The smart money would go toward putting this form-factor in a casemod, and maybe figuring out how to include the boob-mousepad in there. It's hard to believe, but at least these seem innocently less creepy than some of the alternatives.
