There is a saying that great things come in small packages. At least for this company, that was how their story began 110 years ago – with a belt buckle and a mechanical pencil.
In 1912, a company founded by Tokuji Hayakawa in Honjo, Tokyo, Japan, came up with the Tokubijo Snap Buckle – a belt buckle that can be adjusted in length without the need for fastening holes. Three years later in 1915, he invented the first ever Hayakawa Mechanical Pencil – which became simply known as the Ever SHARP Pencil.
