      I couldn’t agree more. Those are actually my favorite kind of products and why I originally made this account: everyday products that aren’t as fancy or eye-catching on the surface, but instead deliver reliable, outsized value to one’s life. Things like this chalk, kitchen utensils, towels, fans, pens, watches, scissors, chairs, lamps, etc. Unfortunately, the current product review meta on social seems to one-liner descriptions of cheaply made unitasker-type products that have more flashiness than function 😕 not that those products or content don’t also deliver value, but imo often tend to veer more into the territory of “impulse purchase that only gets used once or twice” rather than “this is a quality product that will take care of you if you take care of it”

    A little sidenote, the specific reason why the owner of Hagoromo passed his legacy to a Korean math teacher was because he showed dedication like no others. Several Japanese companies contacted the owner for buying the recipe, but the owner insisted on keeping the name and recipe unchanged - which, as you see, got turned down and broke the deals. This "random" math teacher out of nowhere, however, kept on pleading the owner to pass his legacy saying that "the good things should always be the last to disappear" (Teacher also accepted all the conditions, including keeping the name and recipe unchanged). After long contemplation, the owner finally decided to pass everything to the teacher, and this is basically how Hagoromo is still in business!

    Growing up in Japan, most of my teachers used hagoromo. I was in high school in 2015 and I remember my Classical Japanese teacher panic buying them, just like the professors in the video.
    I miss her, she's still the most passionate fan of Hagoromo I've ever met.
    Edit: Classical Japanese is a school subject where we read old Japanese language text (~7th to 19th century, basically a different language).
    Quick correction since I reread the comment and it looked like I was trying to say she's a "classically Japanese" person or something 😂
    Fun fact, the name hagoromo is also derived from the angels in classical Japanese mythology. It's the fabric they wear to float in the sky, hence hagoromo chalk is supposed to write like you're gliding through the clouds. Heavenly, so to speak.

    I remember my old art teacher back in, 2004 or so? He talked about colored chalk once. He talked about how new chalk sucks because each year they add less pigment to the chalk to save money. He took a brand new box of chalk and drew a line on the board. Red. ...ish. Like just the average red we were all used to seeing when a teacher used red chalk.
    And then he very carefully took out a box of old chalk, no idea how old, but it must have been from the 80s or something. Looked ancient. He very carefully drew a single line of red chalk on the board and put it away again, to be used again next year for the next year of students. And wow was that the most vibrant red chalk I ever saw. I had no idea chalk COULD be vibrant. It was gorgeous. That single red line of chalk will haunt me for the rest of my life. Screw that pale stuff they do 20 years ago. I don't even want to know what kids these days have to suffer between their zoom lessons when they actually pick up chalk. Give me VIBRANT CHALK.

    • @NeoNovastar

      Unfortunately, alongside just using less pigments, the most vibrant of reds is usually only achievable with heavy metals. You definitely do not want to be inhaling that in dust form.
      But the color lover in me understands. It feels like the quality of things is rapidly decreasing all over the place. It hurts so much to watch.

      @@NeoNovastar I started making chalk during the pandemic as we were in lockdown and the kids from neighbouring homes would spend a lot of time drawing on our long driveway. I used plaster of paris and PVA glue to make the chalk and tried a few different ways of adding colour. It took so much acrylic paints or stamp pad inks to create fairly pale tones (I wouldn't call them colours). Luckily, I had kept some samples of colour dyes from when I work for a cleaning product manufacturer. That stuff is so concentrated, one drop would be enough to colour 2-3 litres of water vibrantly. I over did it with the first batch and while the chalk was awesome, it would stain your hands after a few minutes of use. Black was impossible to make, I used all the black ink and charcoal I had and could only manage a medium grey.

One of the prop guys told me it’s because the actors hands/wardrobe don’t get messy, it doesn’t kick up a bunch of dust, they’re big and sturdy which makes them easier to see on film, and most importantly, they don’t make that horrible squeak sound, which can ruin an otherwise perfect take when people reflexively react to it.

      @vritantpaul6676 ปีที่แล้ว

      ​@@patrickt101 Just a bit of background on why Japan is slightly ahead of others when it comes to quality control:
      In 1950, Dr. W. Edwards Deming a renowned quality-control expert was brought to Japan by General MacArthur, who was frustrated with a war-ravaged Japanese industrial base where he couldn't even count on being able to complete a phone call. At the request of the Japanese Union of Scientists and Engineers, Deming began to train the Japanese in his total quality-control principles. Deming taught the Japanese fourteen principles and a basic core belief that is the foundation of virtually all decisions made in every successful, major, multinational Japanese corporation to this day.
      The core belief, simply, is this: a constant, never-ending commitment to consistently increase the quality of their business every single day would give them the power to dominate the markets of the world. Deming taught that quality was not just a matter of meeting a certain standard, but rather was a living, breathing process of never-ending improvement. If the Japanese would live by the principles that he taught, he promised them, within five years they would flood the world with quality products and within a decade or two become one of the world's dominant economic powers.
      Many thought Deming's proclamations were crazy. But the Japanese took him at his word, and today he is revered as the father of the "Japanese miracle." In fact, each year since 1950, the highest honor a Japanese company can receive is the National Deming Prize. This award is given on national television and is used to acknowledge the company that represents the highest level of increases in quality of products, service, management, and worker support throughout Japan.

Then slowly the quality started degrading, and most chalks, even Crayolas are pretty crappy now. It seems like Hagoromo is the only company that kept the old formula and improved on it.

    He told us that essentially, teaching is also an art. Not only rely on how good our knowledge are, but also how good our media are. It might be a skill like public speaking or language. But he also notice that small things, like the chalk is also very important. That is why he brag having this Hagoromo chalk and even demonstrating the difference between Hagoromo chalk and ordinary chalk.
