Friendship Tree Duet Phone

井元雄一Ph.D via Google Maps

Commemorating a century of Nippon Telephone & Telegraph, the Friendship Tree Duet Phone is one of Japan's most charming telecommunication curiosities. Housed inside a playful structure resembling an oversized fantasy tree, this rare installation features two separate handsets connected to a single line so companions can chat with a third person simultaneously. It feels like a delightful relic straight out of an Animal Crossing village. Drop in a few coins or an NTT telephone card to enjoy a delightfully nostalgic, collaborative phone call.
