Is this crazy-looking home sauna just what our busy daddy reporter needs in his life?
Ahiruneko’s single-guy sauna days are done, but this gadget promises to bring the steam right into his home.

Ahiruneko, the Japanese-language reporter, used to frequent a sauna once or twice a week during his bachelor days. However, with the arrival of a wife and child, as well as a new suburban apartment, his sauna days have become a mere once or twice yearly indulgence due to his longer commute. In his pursuit of the perfect sauna/life balance, Ahiruneko decided to invest in a home sauna kit.
After searching online marketplace Rakuten, he found a DIY steam sauna kit for approximately US$112. The kit contained all the necessary components for building a sauna tent, including piping, a floor mat, a steam generator, a dispersal device, and a chair. Assembly was a straightforward process that took only a short time to complete.
The final product resembled a giant down vest, with a slot for one's neck and two slits for additional hand access. An exterior pocket housed the remote control for operating the steam generator and adjusting the temperature. The steam generator itself looked like a rice cooker, with water being heated to produce steam that was then channeled into the sauna tent through a connecting tube and dispersed by the built-in steam box.
The tent's dimensions were cozy yet spacious enough to accommodate a folding chair and a rolled-out mat for comfort during the steam session.
