shows an incredible piece.
I didnt know about this site.
Yes, it is incredible.
This is truly an art of mimeograph, isnt it

Quote:
A tradition hall of mimeograph is located in Gamo-cho, Shiga Prefecture, which is a home town of the inventor of a mimeograph.

I didnt know about this site either. (Sorry I was being too lazy, I guess)
Mimeographs are perfectly made in Japan, arent they?
And since this was invented in Meiji 27th (1894), it surely was a "great invention."  It seems that the uniqueness and originality of the Japanese craftsmanships root is sometime in this era and these tools around us.

There are various other colors and I wondered what it would be like if those colors were used. I can't come up with any bright wisdom, but perhaps what we could do is to pass on the memories we have created in our daily life
style.
If the memories of the things we used in our daily life could somehow be applied or used in our future generations or in the developing countries, I thinks that we have accomplished something that proves our life.

In addition, about "DENSHOUKAN", we still need to consider how we could proceed and to which direction we could align ourselves. Id be delighted to hear any of your comments or suggestions in this regard.
