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.
