Karei san,

The Japanese made mimeograph was invented by Niijiro Horii and his son. But it is said that Horii and his son developed a mimeograph based on Edisons model which was exhibited in the 1893 Expo. The domestic first production　came out the next year.
I see, so it isnt really the perfect domestic product.

The major difference between the Japanese one and the American one is in the stencil paper. Japanese stencil paper was a waxed Japanese paper. It seems that a strong stencil paper was required to write a Chinese character.
Uuum, yes, I can see that it must have been complicated to write old Chinese characters which have many number of strokes.

I heard that the mimeograph is quite popular in Southeast Asian countries even today. I also read an article which said that the fluorescent light is　used instead of the rubber roller. A burned out fluorescent light is used　for other purpose!
Good idea! Using a fluorescent light tube!.

Since the parts supply and electricity reliability cant be expected in the developing countries, maybe mimeographs are more reliable than personal computers.

Thank you very much, it was really interesting.
