I'm totally going to paint our fridge, would you suggest telling your better half before painting the white goods?
Only if you need help! ;)
The owner of original Japanese Hagoromo chalk factory has retired due to his old age and health. But he could not find a successor or buyer in Japan. A Korean math teacher, who is ardent lover of the chalk, remanted discontinued production of the best chalk in the world. So he himself bought the chalk brand, machines and skill from the owner and resume the chalk production in Korea as "Sejongmall" company. Hagoromo chalk is now produced in Korea and sold worldwide. Still the best chalk in the world.
@A. Meowzki nope, having used both can confirm its exactly the same.
@A. Meowzki the exact some machines and method. They also use the same raw materials brought from the same place. The new owner apparently tried materials from somewhere else, he says that didn't go as planned.
I saw the short video of mathematicians, physicists .. the Nobel prize level types singing praises of a Japanese chalk of immense repute, blackboards and how essential it is for their work .. the Japanese chalk company was closing down, and most of them purchased almost a lifetime supply of this chalk ..
Same as Blackwings with Writers!
A Korean company bought the recipe and machinery and hired some of the employees, so the chalk is still in production.
And it's not as expensive as you'd think. You can buy 72 sticks of white for $20. If you use chalk every day for work, that can add up, but if using a better tool makes you less annoyed, it could be totally worth it.
I only use chalk in my workshop for project lists and procedures, so a box will last me years, maybe a decade.
God, am I going to start collecting chalk as well? It started with nice ballpoints, then moved on to fountain pens, then I looked to pencils, now chalk?!
Whats next? Limited edition, high grade, Japanese finger paint? God help me. For real.
Artisanal paper clips and fine grade staples
@@WoodGraphite You do realize I have a limited amount of money right? Please, I need to feed my family.
@@GreyMatterPlatterYou could always feed them chalk
@@EleetCanoe this got a chuckle out of me lol thanks
Nice vid, please give us more of this kind of wholesome content
"Chalk enthusiasts"
They are a diverse and interesting demographic
These videos are so heartful.
Thanks! Not very many people watch them, but I enjoy sharing these stories
I was so lucky to be a teacher in Japan that used this chalk every day and every lesson. At the time, I had no idea about the differences between chalks. I thought they were all the same. But after writing my first letter on a chalkboard with Hagoromo, I immediately inspected the chalk. I knew this was different from other chalks.
I was in the 2nd grade, I sharpened my pencil then went to sit in my chair. As I was pulling my chair to me I had my pencil in my hand facing up. I sat on it. Ended up at the doctors office that day. I’m 38 years old and I’ll never forget it.
Had my eye on this stuff as well!
It’s great!
Man now I want to do this. So cool.
The hagoromo chalk was originally from japan
That's why I got confused
Xentradi97 ORIGINALLY!!
A south korean company bought Hagoromo under the condition it keeps the same quality and name. A couple other Japanese companies offered to buy as well but they didn’t meet the standards mr Watanabe (Hagoromo’s owner) insisted.

I saw a video on this a while back and I wanted to try it, but I don't have a chalk board or a use for it.
It's funny that it has almost the same story as black wing as well, with it going out of business and getting picked up by a different company.
I discovered this stuff about a month ago, and I'm in love 😍 its so much nicer than crayola! Its great for making grocery lists :)
Anything's better than Crayola. Never tried Hagaromo, Sargent works well for me.
Shame on you for making that poor woman enact a punishment activity as if she were the Bart-ette Simpson of your household.
Actually here in the US we had an article about this chalk quite some time ago, describing roughly the equivalent of what happened whenThe original Blackwings or the original Col-erase pencils were discontinued, there was word that the Korean chalk was going to go out of manufacture and a mad dash ensued, mostly among aforementioned scientists and teachers, to buy up as much remaining supply as possible. Apparently however they figured out a way to keep going, so congratulations on your acquisition of something that I frankly do not think I will ever need, so I will vicariously enjoy your usage of same chalk on your frankly unique refrigerator.
Fantastic! I’m glad to see the finished project, after hearing about it on 1857. Though, I concur with others that I really don’t need another high end obsession. I’m still resisting the Hovel and the Iris! Be well. (And if you are reading this and not listening to this gentleman’s podcast, 1857, go check it out!)
Wait, so there’s a paint you can buy to turn any surface into a chalkboard?
I love both pencils and fountain pens
yes for Java
She's a left-hander 👍
I absolutely hate chalk, if I touch it I instantly feel like my skin is dehydrated and I need to get it off of me and wet my hands and drink water. Is that weird or what? I also hate the sound, I have an overall skin crawling sensation I can't adequately describe. Maybe this chalk is the solution.
Before this video I didn't know , there exists a phrase "Chalk Enthusiasts".
안녕하세요, 저는 한국인 입니다. 저는 이 영상을 보고 저희 나라의 분필을 사랑해주셔서 감사하다는 말밖에 안나옵니다. 저희나라의 하고모로 분필을 사용해주셔서 진심으로 감사드립니다.
당신은 매우 환영합니다! 귀하의 친절한 의견에 감사드립니다. 죄송합니다. Google 번역을 사용했기 때문에 한국어가 좋지 않습니다!
Where at you actually from your accent is quite different.......
Northern Ireland (:
Same 🤯 Armagh.... I didn't fully recognise the accent so just decided to ask, my mind is a peace now. Thanks for the videos!
I'll stick to blackwing pencils
This dude almost said the line from Full Metal Jacket😂
My fridge is my best friend...
Korean?
Hagoromo took over by korean company
일본이 과거로부터 한국에 도자기 글자 종교 직물 두부 뭐 않배워 간게 있었나
이 하고로모 분필이 그렇게 좋은줄 몰랐다
좌우지간 제대로된 일본인이구나
끝으로 감사의 말 전합니다
It was a Japanese product now produced in Korea so I don't like how u wrote korean chalk
It is made in Korea, so it is a Korean.
Japanese companies wanted to change the brand and name of the company which would have destroyed the legacy of the owner, so the original Japanese owner didn't agree to handover the company to them.
Meanwhile a Korean meet all the standards that the owner insisted and agreed to never change the name of the company. He impressed the owner despite the owner warning him that the chalk business will decline in the future due to steady rise in the use of whiteboards.
The owner sold 2 out of 3 original machines, the secret recipe and patent for the hagoromo name to the Korean math teacher. That implies hagoromo is 100 percent a Korean company now.
