Oversized Japanese Backpacks

A frightening stillness will mark that day And the shadow of streetlights and fire-alarms will exhaust the light All things, the quietest and the loudest, will be silent The suckling brats will die The tugboats the locomotives the wind will glide by in silence We will hear the great voice which coming from far away will pass over the city We will wait a long time for it Then at the rich man's time of day When the dust the stones the missing tears form the sun's robe on the huge deserted squares We shall finally hear the voice. It will growl at doors for a long while It will pass over the town tearing up flags and breaking windowpanes. We will hear it What silence before it, but still greater the silence it will not disturb but will hold guilty will brand and denounce Day of sorrows and joys The day the day to come when the voice will pass over the city A ghostly seagull told me she loved me as much as I loved her That this great terrible silence was my love That the wind carrying the voice was the great revolt of the world And that the voice would look kindly on me.

A Japanese design studio has created the world’s largest backpack, one so incredibly large that it can literally fit a grown person, or be used as a closet to store one’s entire wardrobe.
This massive backpack measures an impressive 100 cm in length, and 68 cm in width. It can hold up to 180 liters, making it the ideal bag to carry around a human being. The shoulder straps are also specially designed to hold the maximum weight, and also come with additional padding to reduce stress of the back of the wearer.
The backpack has been named the Backpackers Closet, and has been described to be a dream come true for carrying heavy equipment outdoors and for setting up a campsite.
Unsurprisingly, this backpack by Japanese company CWF comes with a price larger than the standard backpack, sold for $230. Regardless, they’ve been selling like crazy and seem to be completely worth the investment.
