Japan Innovative GAGA Eraser....

Yesterday I went to a local stationery store near my House to buy an eraser..and I was surprised to see a very fancy eraser displayed on a lovely showcase with the typical Japanese manga characters in pictures showing the usage of this eraser.
This Eraser is typical cute eraser for the school girls.
The eraser can be used to erase in normal way but on the "LOVE" mark the girls can do manicure of their nails by rubbing it on the LOve mark and the nails becomes beautiful...

Many school girls in japan use it for educational as well as fashion item. It is ranked as on the best stationery innovative items in Japan with huge popularity. The school girls giggle and eagerness to buy this product in that shop was funny and worthy. Many school girls in Japan also gave it name as the "GAGA Eraser" and it is called GAGA eraser. The name is obvious from the LADY GAGAs fashion statement.

the price in Japan is 210JPY...pretty reasonable..recently my friend has purchased it for his daughter....Seems like LADY GAGA is taking over stationery fashion too..

Italian Murano Glass opinion

Last week I read a very interesting article about the Murano Glass in NY times

I have loved glass articles a lot and always love various techniques in making it in different shapes, angels, colors. Italian Murano Glasses are very special and one of my favorites.

But after reading the article about the latest situation of the Murano glass techniques in Italy and its debacle made me write this blog.
I have traveled the Silk road and had really got to known the treasures hidden on this road for long years back.
The Glass technique from Europe which many of us acknowledged and cherish is originally rooted in East i.e Asia. The technique of Glass has been exported to the Europe from the orient China along the silk road. The glass snuff bottles were used as by the Chinese to keep the medicines in it.

Later the European traders introduced the glass materials which became a huge hit everywhere.

The Murano glass technique is world recognized and wonderful but due to the crisis they are hard to survive and opting for new other income. I hope they recover soon and would love to see their more articles in future.

I also do like Chinese glass art. it is very oriental and different from others. The MADE IN CHINA articles in bulk making cheap has been spread all over world and thus everyone thinks that those items from China are cheap and useless. I do not agree on it completely, of course the latest MADE IN CHINA bulk articles are cheap and low quality but if we find the real treasures of China we can find many nice articles very rare and useful.

I have got some of the glass pens from China which are similar to Murano glass pens the quality is very nice and I love them. these are gem pens which I found in China.

New Hero 360 degree Innovative Cross nib pen

A very special and innovative All angle nib pen form hero. You all must be bored with the same style of nib. Fed up with applying too much pressure to write.
Always looking for special pens for left hand writers.

Here is the solution for all the problems: the New All angle nib.

What is the all angle nib? Whats its advantages over the standard nibs??


For example:
If you write on the carbon paper, you have to apply pressure to write. Then only it will help to copy on the carbon paper. But if you write with the all angle trident nib on the carbon paper without applying any pressure, you can see the carbon images easily. Isn’t this amazing? With no pressure just by the weight of the pen you can write as much as you want.
Many of my buyers’ complaint of wrist pain stress in hand or some other physical problem which makes hard to apply pressure while writing. This trident nib is a great way to write for all the people. The other advantage is that you can also write on low angel and even the left hand writers can use it. Therefore, it can be used by the right and left hand writers without any anxiety.

Trident nib History:
The Spacer actually invented this nib. Later they sold their trident nib technique to the Japanese Sailor pens and the Chinese Hero pens.
