This term X was coined by Kenji Kawakami which means "unusual tool" and is a form of Japanese art. Created in the 1980s, X are inventions that are designed to solve everyday problems, but are far too odd and eccentric to use regularly. This unusual art movement called the X movement started when Kawakami included one of his prototypes at the end of his magazine, Mail Order Life, which was dedicated to housewives who couldn't easily go to city to shop.
