It seems like the mimeograph is now regarded as relics after its golden age. But we used mimeographs for almost every printing before word processors and copy machines appeared. Mimeographs were actually playing a major role in printing just until quite recently.
Yes! And one of the remaining relics was in my desk! It was a stylus!,

A real stylus! And to my surprise, this stylus can write both thin characters and bold letters but the rubber grip part wass worn out probably because it got a cold or something afther these long years in my desk. I gave the mimeograph to someone, but kept the stylus unused. The box is as brand new. I remember there was a slight skill using the stylus to write on memiograph, but I couldnt pick up the skill even after long practices.

Other things I remember are: I stood side by side to my teacher and helped wrapping by a stencil paper. Another was the first assignment I had when I was sent to Sapporo in the spring of Showa year 29 and wrapped a bunch of lilly by a stencil paper and sent it the parents in Kyushu which made them really happy.

Not really exciting memories, though..
