Check out the weird and wonderful creations from Maker Faire Tokyo 2014 (GALLERY)

Maker Faire, the globe-trotting DIY convention that attracts both weekend hobbyists and high tech tinkerers, landed in Tokyo over the weekend. Arduino Unos and Raspberry Pis outnumbered attendees by a wide margin, with drones buzzing overhead and the smell of 3D printer plastic wafting through the air.

The event, which started in the Bay Area back in 2006, took on a uniquely Japanese feel for its trip through the capital, embodying everything weird and wonderful about the interaction between tech and domestic pop culture.
