He who doesn’t love a good back massage shall cast the first stone. We live in an era of intellectual labor, meaning that a lot of us spend our workdays sitting on an office chair. That certainly can not be good for your physique, and after sitting all day, a good backrub may feel like heaven on Earth. If you have kids, however, your workday probably does not come to an end until your kids fall asleep. Well, this genius Japanese father has come up with a great idea of combining playtime for children and a good back massage.
Ken Kawamoto is an inventive man, a software engineer for Google, but most importantly – he is a dad. The man has recently introduced to the world an epic t-shirt he designed. While at first glance, it looks rather simple, it hides a secret purpose to it. It aims to make your kids want to give you a back massage and enjoy themselves while doing so.
Since Ken’s son is into trains, the dad thought that it’d only be natural to design a t-shirt with a railroad on it. For the tiny conductor to run the train smoothly, it’s got specially designed areas named “Right Shoulder,” “Left Shoulder,” “Spine,” and “Lower Back.” That way, the wearer of the t-shirt can easily identify which areas need more attention or more vigorous driving.
Also, it has been retweeted more than 30,000 times, so it’s safe to say that people on Twitter loved the idea. In the video, you can see Ken’s young son driving his trains on the railroad on his father’s back. The child seems to be enjoying himself and is going from station to station with different toy trains.
You can buy the “massage t-shirt” is available online for 2,500 YEN ($22).
