    The phrase "Chinese typewriter" is an older joke in engineering referring to something extremely complicated, but this actually looks like a pretty simple concept. One button, one hammer. A clever arrangement with Japanese elegance.

    I think that using a typewriter is better because the Chinese syllables are used directly instead of using Latin letters as pinyin.

    I found one of these at a thrift/antique store about 5-10 years ago. The store owner had a price tag that was close to $1,000.00. She didn't sell things on ebay so I offered to list it and split the profits. We accepted the domestic bid for $8,300.00 We were both happy! :)

    Something about japanese product design really resonates with me. Things are ordered and formed in a way that to me is very organic, harmonious and clean. All the elements work together to form the total aesthetic. I find it all over the place across various products and even the things that make up the products themselves. Somehow too, written and spoken japanese also follow this philosophy. I really admire that.

    The Chinese writer Lin yutang once built a typewriter himself, the machine makes typing 90;000 Chinese characters possible, using a unique combinatory system. The inventor of the machine went bankrupt for building it, an American company named Carl E. Krum was commissioned to build the prototype, only finding out that no one was willing to finance the mass production of it because of the high manufacture cost. The prototype was lost when the author moved from one house to another. If only could rebuild the machine, it would be great to see an analog machine for type Chinese, the design was truly ingenious.

    The Toshiba Typewriter Model BW-2112 is a fascinating piece of technology, particularly notable for its capacity to type in multiple languages, including Japanese, Chinese, and English. Made in the late 1940s, this typewriter is distinctive due to its keyboard, which comprises over 1,000 characters​​​​. The operation of the BW-2112 is unique compared to modern typewriters or keyboards. Characters are selected by manually rotating a cylinder and moving it upwards. This action aligns the required character with an index indicator, facilitating its selection. Upon pressing the key of the printer, the type thread is pressed upwards from the cylinder to print the character on the paper​​​​. This design is a significant departure from the "Western-style" keyboard and represents an advanced stage in typewriter technology of that era, especially considering the multilingual capability and the large number of characters it could produce​​. This typewriter is an exceptional example of ingenuity in adapting the typewriter model to accommodate the complexities of languages with extensive character sets. twistedsifter.com/videos/rare-japanese-typewriter-by-toshiba/#:~:text=Check%20out%20this%20rare%20Japanese,made%20in%20the%20late%201940s
