This little creature is Ram, a 3-month old french bulldog. And he's standing inside the world's first canine oxygen cell—developed by Air Press, a human oxygen therapy salon that claims to slow down aging—that is supposed to help dogs relax. Hahahaha! I can bet you a billion dollars that Ruby will NOT relax in that thing. In fact, don't you think most dogs would freak the fuck out? 30 minutes in this torture chamber costs 2000 yen, or about $17.

In 2008, Chronicle published my book: Urawaza: Secret Everyday Tips and Tricks from Japan.
I am also the founder of The Tofu Project, a boutique program that helps Japanese entrepreneurs and creators think deeper, tell better stories, and go out into the world in a much bigger way. We work with companies like Mixi, Japan Airlines, and Salesforce.com.
Sometimes I try to explain Japanese culture on CNN, BBC, CBC, WSJ, ABC (so many acronyms!) or in person at places like the Foreign Correspondents' Club of Japan, ETech, and Ignite!

Beauty salons offer the most ridiculous scientific claims.
It's discovered recently that dying cells pumped with excessive oxygen would actually be dead. The medical world is now reconsidering the common practice of using oxygen for reviving trauma patients.
Besides, freaking the dog out can increase stress hormone which can shorten life.

I cannot tell if she's looking at the dog fondly, or if she's all like WTF?! As if she put a different dog in on the other end, and out came this one.
She looks familiar too, which is craZy in itself.
Anyways, that dog looks funny with his tongue hanging out a bit. Actually, all dogs look funny with their tongues hanging out.
