    Japanese stationery has changed SO much in just 100 years! Which of these stationery innovations can’t you live without? Let us know in the comments!

      OMG! I used to have those vintage felt tip coloring pen that Miriam showed us! I think I got them at Price Club (pre-Costco). I don’t know where they are now; probably lost or still at my parents’ house. 😁

      I remember the Pilot fineliner (blue and black colors with a distinctive yellow cap that nowadays is white) that became my favorite pen during my middle and high school years. I still use it and also own the color line from Stabilo and Staedtler. That was a great innovation for me!! 🖊

    • @JericoJopio
      @JericoJopio 8 месяцев назад +2

      ​@@NandigamS I think the Pilot Frixion Zone erasable pen was the one released in 2020, but the original capped FriXion pen was released in Japan in 2006 or 2007. Frixion pens were actually inspired by Pilot's previous experiments in creating the Metamo ink that changes its color when rubbed or erased.😊

    As far as fountain pens are concerned, the nib is everything. If the nib doesn’t perform well, the pen becomes a mere piece of plastic !
    The three Japanese brands (Pilot, Sailor & Platinum) make the best performing in-house nibs on market ❤

    The 100 years history of Japanese stationary was so fascinating to learn about, how each evolved one into another! The most interesting that blew my mind was washi tape being invented in 2006!? Thats so recent i had no idea!! Thank you for all the research you did for this video, i learned so much!!
    And thank you to Miriam for sharing that vintage marker set and that hilarious lil shout out xD thanks for also sharing your bloopers, theyre so cute!

I remember him letting me try it out and I was blown away at how cool the ink worked! Oh man, not long after that, I bought my first set of FriXion pens. Used them all up in a few weeks lmao. Then I didn't buy more FriXion pens until like 2019 when I got back into gel pens in general. They're just so freaking cool

    I have a Parker Big Red Ballpoint pen from 1979 that my mother bought for me when I was in high school. It has a green case and I use a broad refill in it. I still use it daily and love it. My first post college job was at a computer/office supply store (I was in heaven) and I have a red Tombow Monoball pen from a trade show. I thought it was cool because it was the first pen I had with an "ink window". Plus a few Bic yellow barrel fine point pens and white barrel accounting fine point pens. Then there's the Lindy shorty gold pen that the managers used at Hudson's Department Store plus a few other colors. I love pens!

    A new wholesome video by JetPens ❤
    Guess my pens will be vintage in 20 or 30 years ^^
    But growing up in the country of Clairefontaine in the 80's we didn't know much about Japan. Sometime you got excited with a pen without knowing that Pentel and Pilot were Japanese brands (in our class when we were 10 years old in 1982, we found the Pentel R50-c rollerballs very cool, even more because they were not allowed at school for not being Bic but we were "a bit" rebellious😆)
    The only _vintage_ day-to-day Japanese item I have is a Sharp PC-1261 pocket programming calculator from 1984 (and a PC-1246 from 1982 as a backup) : leightweight, brushed aluminium facade, quick to use, empowering tool you can program on your own, batteries lasting ages 🙂

    My all time favourite stationary is Mechanical Pencil Pentel Caplet 1.0. I have used those pencils since I am in high school until now be a doctoral student. So reliable and robust! amazing. In almost 18 years I just have 3 pieces and replace them only because it dirty. The second generation of caplet pentel is good but I am a big fan of the old one!

    It's a great informative video from JetPens! A few years ago, NHK World featured a segment about Japanese stationery; the segment was titled BEGIN Japanology. Honestly, I was surprised that Sailor, a famous fountain pen company, actually created the first Japan-made ballpoint pen in 1948, just 3 years after World War II. By comparison, Marcel Bich developed the Bic Cristal ballpoint pen in 1950 while Parker created the iconic Jotter ballpoint pen in 1954. I really learned so much from you when it comes to stationery, and I will never get tired of watching your videos or reading your blogs. Thanks, JetPens, especially to Miriam, for presenting such wonderful video about Japanese stationery evolution for over 100 years. More power to you!😊😉🗂🖋🖊✒️🖍📃🖌

    I found some light green paper made in East Germany, in the 1980s. It was bad then and totally unsuitable for decadent fountain pens. It's even worse now that it's gone pale and brittle. But wonderful for typewriter art: the letters stencil right out 😂. Czech materials held up well, in contrast.

    I really love how you show the Pentel felt tip pens from the 80's and tell that they still function.
    I guess, that's one of the biggest differences between Japanese and other stationery. It's not only very well constructed and some with specific purpose, but also highest quality and long lasting. I can't think of other felt tip pens still working after 30-40 years.
