Shocking As Japan Designs Chair to Cure Loneliness

The chair was developed by a Japanese company known as UniCare, and it’s being sold for 46,000 yen, which comes out to US$419.

Furthermore, according to a spokesperson for UniCare, the chair “makes you feel safe.

What’s interesting, however, is that these chairs also reportedly play Japanese music. That’s actually pretty useful, especially for older individuals who are suffering from “anxiety, fear or controllable anger.

What’s also interesting is that Japan has a long history of trying to cure loneliness. Take, for instance, the Pekoppa Toy, a fake plant that flutters in acknowledgment whenever one interacts with it.

And let’s not forget about Japan’s army of lifelike robot girlfriends, which can blink, move and respond to certain questions.
