Hello, Marchan, I was really attracted to the issue of mimeograph.

Quote:
I heard from somewhere that the generation of 60's and 70's are the generation of mimeographs, and that the 50's and youngers are the generation of personal computer. I guess the members of the mellow club, are living over the two generations, arent we?

We wrote on wax paper (stencil paper) by stylus, and used carbon sheet and a roller. Wasnt there a one for the brush pens?

What I remember was that I mixed the Indian ink(bokujyu) with a kind of chemical. And when I wrote with it, the very part where the letters were written on Japanese paper would turn white and then the afterwards, the process was very similar to ordinary mimeograph.

However the case, it was such a tiring job with a great loss of efforts.

Rifurei
