Thank you!!
How about nah
$10 for 12 ain't bad considering the quality!
I assumed it would be stupidly expensive. While it’s not cheap it seems reasonable for the quality.
I’m a math major and I use this chalk!!! I spend a lot of time in the math department doing problems and this is the only chalk I borrow from my professor lol
So am I. I went to my professors office hours and he says he has a hoard of it but only takes it out for “special occasions”
I don’t know that you can “borrow” chalk lol.
@@MichaelsPwner When you’re done, scrape up all of the particles and dump them on the professor’s desk. They’ll really _appreciate_ it.
Ok now rice a math major now
@@calleinad Ah yes, the special math occasions lmao
Man really made the best chalk on the planet and captured all 9 tailed beasts. What a legend
The sage of six chalks
He must be a great son Clueless
I knew I heard that name before!
New someone was going to make that reference. Also technically hagaromo created the 9 tailed beasts not captured them
@@Hudishavtsye oh shit you right. Hashirama and Madara captured them right
Fun fact: the setup for making the chalk uses machines that were originally meant for bread dough, udon noodles, mixing floor, & making roof tiles 😳
i can see that when you showed the picture of it lol, amazing
Seems like the machines that make sense lol. Mixer, add bonding, noodle stretch then to tile machine for hardening .
Such a versatile machine
You mean, an industrial mixer?
That's so cool...I love when people are so passionate about trying something new that they just use whatever they can get their hands on to see if it can work.
The fact he decided to pass on the company to a passionate math teacher is so wholesome
To the Math professor who calculated how long each box of chalk would last him, absolute madman.
Autism
Damn yeah I remember that quote
That’s an incredibly easy thing to calculate if you’ve been using chalk your whole career and know how long one stick typically lasts you
this is how all that math shit finally is applied IRL, one of the school moments of all time is finally happening
That's grade school arithmetic lol. I do the same thing for almost everything in my house. I know when the coffee is going to run out to the day.
I’m unbelievably happy that Hagoromo found a successor to carry the torch. It’s easily the best chalk I’ve ever used, I buy it regardless of how much more expensive it is.
Also, the rest of the world needs to step it up because Japan makes the best writing instruments. Germany is in like a distant second but it’s just not very close.
And the best cars
I'm from germany and I don't know if I would say the same. You get everything for enough money, and with the globalization stuff is very rarely produced in one place. As far as I can tell, germany doesn't have much industry for basic resources, we gave up steel which we now import cheaply from china, and I wouldn't trust a lot of products which advertise with "Made in Germany", they are often cheaply produced in other less wealthy countries where production is cheaper, and just shipped to germany to be assembled, this is only done to qualify for the "Made in Germany". Wages in this country are as high as the costs, and it was always the top priority of companies to maximize the profit. It is true though that you get really amazing quality stuff over here, but it is expensive as hell, the workers and machines have to be paid and maintained.
@@LorianandLothric Dito. 100%.
@@-sturmfalke- isnt Germany big on medical equipment
@@GHOSTTIEF That's actually true, but I feel like most stuff again is produced in other parts of the world, the wages are so high that most common work is not able to balance it out without making losses. That's why our politics is so keen on migration, because these people often come from countries with very low wages and can be paid criminally low, and would do work which most "germans" don't want to do, we would have to significantly reduce our standards of living for this. That's a reason why I don't like our politics, they don't try to really solve the problems (the need to have well-paid jobs to afford living in a "normal" standard), but rather use innocent people to hide them.
I love over-engineered Japanese stationery....I can't afford it, but I love it.
Everything japanese made is a guaranteed high quality stuff. My illustrator friend only used eraser from Japan, she hoard it lol. I used a mascara from japanese brand, it was so easy and good I never use others.
@@Magami31 there’s a few countries in this world, Japan, France and Germany come to mind, where craftsmanship and the spirit of the item are more important than profit and mass production. I have been using a Japanese skincare brand DHC for over a decade I love them!
@@Magami31 That’s also why the most reliable cars are Japanese
When products are perfected to the extremes to suit human satiety and needs, of course everyone would love it. It's a given.
I have way too much japanese writing utensils and love them too much
The secret ingredients of Hagoromo Chalk are:
5. Chakra
6. Senjutsu
7. Hashirama Cells
I looked way to long to find this comment
Gotta farm those senju clan baby
Ain't no way
I hate chalk, but man, you got me sold if I ever need chalk 😂
Same! regular chalk makes me gag if I touch it.
Honestly
@@isobelesperanza right? I gagged just watching him touch the chalk lol, when it broke while he was writing with it 🤢
As a person who used to hate chalk trust me this shit will change your life
@@isobelesperanza may i ask why does it make you gag? Sorry if it’s a ignorant question can’t tell if you’re being literal
I don’t like the feel of regular chalk or the sound it makes.
Hagoromo is good shit man, it's what we use in our office. Smooth af
Fun fact #2: Mass produced chalk is made in
sounds expensive! 😅
@@theeveoftime2052 compared to the cheap crap it is, but well made things tend to last a good long while before needing replacement so you both get more value and a better product
@@michaelfinlay1412 that’s true, cheap things are never good and good things are never cheap!
@@theeveoftime2052 a good example of this is toilet paper
@@michaelfinlay1412 water is much cheaper, unless your from the desert of course.
Hagoromo has passed down his six path chalk powers to the next generation
I remember one of my professors was running an underground chalk business to other professors since she had bought enough to last her for 10 years if she was careful.
she should use 'crystal' as a code for chalks
"So you uhh, got any white stuff?"
Breaking chalk. But this time Walter is a math teacher.
@@FictionHubZA haha 😂
I bet this isnt even true and you picked it up from one of the many other popular videos about this chalk.
Imagine if all businesses were run this way. Given to the person most likely to do the best with it and carry it on without ruining it with their own ideas
This makes so much sense. When I was a kid, some of my teachers had this amazingly smooth, creamy chalk that just glided on the board like butter. It was lovely. Whereas some others had this crumbly, scratchy, awful chalk. I always just figured that the nicer chalk was just fresher and that maybe as it dried up, it got crumbly and gross. But now I'm thinking that some of my teachers just went out of their way to buy the better chalk.
There are two materials used for chalk, calcium carbonate (actual chalk) and gypsum. Gypsum is way cheaper, but calcium carbonate is smoother. It used to be easier to find the nice chalk, but these days you have to go out of your way.
Don't forget, the cheap chalk would also make that awful sound.
@@totally_not_a_bot Fascinating! Thank you for that info!
So true! I remember one of my teacher in middle school took a steel box from his bag. From that box he took a chalk. I remember why he do that when there is a chalk available on the board. He never took that other chalk. When he runs out, he always take one from his box.
Now I know, not all chalk is the same.
@@totally_not_a_botcalcium carbonate? Isn’t that what egg shells are made of?
Fascinating. I'm so glad he sold the business. For teachers and professors who use this chalk, it was so important. The quality is so much higher. It is so much easier to see on the chalkboard, too, which is important for students.
I always wondered how the hell people made decent chalk drawings. I wasn’t aware there were high grades of chalk, but that makes sense. Pretty much all art mediums have a cheap and expensive version, and usually the expensive version works the best. Just kinda how the art world is. You’re paying for quality. I think that’s fair tbh.
My calculus professor has this chalk, and we all fight over it when it's time to do group work on the blackboards 😂
I love how he sold the business to someone of a different nationality. He trusted that what was more important was that the person was passionate, rather than the person was born in the same country. A rare thing.
I saw read an article sometime ago telling the story of how that transpired. The owner's kid(s) didn't want to continue the business and wanted to closed the business permanently. He would rather end the lineage than selling it to other company to end up ruining the quality much less allow other country to continue his legacy. The Korean professor was sincere and the owner saw it in him to change his mind. All these weebs talking crap about Japan vs Korea are seriously undermining the original owner's faith in the new owner's continuing tradition.
It's all fun and games until one of the big korea conglomerates join the game.
The animosity between our two ethnicities is quite understandable given our shared histories which is so full of conflict, so this is quite wholesome and touching. 🇰🇷 🇯🇵
@@RandomPerson-tz7wk kakao going after that chalk
Hopefully they take up the same culture that made the man who created the chalk company to begin with.
People tend to stick to what they know though.
I'm glad the business keeps going. It's a shame to lose good things to time, specially when those things are helpful to great minds
this video is my small lil tribute to Great Big Story's legacy :'^( RIP gone too soon
Fr :(
They just started up again!!
@@pineapplefox3673 OMG
Figures, it would be another thing CNN got wrong. By shuttering GBS and not their garbage cable news hosts. They would have made so much more revenue if they kept GBS and most importantly, reported factual research and not half true fabricated stories that they’ve been caught in almost every other week. The Criminal/Crap News Network. For the record, before someone gets their undies in a twist I don’t watch Fox either. Reporters lost their way years ago.
They're BACK!!!
Ever just wanna impulsively get into a hobby you know you’re not gonna enjoy just to be in on it? I’m feeling that right now, I want some chalk
Hagoromo is so good. Seriously, once you get hooked up, you never want any other chalk again 😂
it's a charming story honestly. whenever someone does a really good job, it's inspiring.
As a math major, I MUCH prefer Hagoromo to any other brand of chalk. If you're going to spend a good portion of you life doing math on a chalkboard, you might as well enjoy the experience.
I actually had heard of this, but as someone who's homeschooled I never gave it much thought. But this is super awesome to hear about. Always a shame to hear about a longstanding and beloved company go out of business. I'm happy to hear that the legacy of this seemingly insignificant yet influential company still lives on.
Ah yes, Hagoromo Chalk.
The Progenitor of all chalk.
I was tryna find smth like this
😂
I remember hearing about this in 2015 that was crazy seeing so many teachers buying bulk or being sad that this had shut down. Glad this is still going
Japan got the best writing utensils
agree. The pens I use are all from Japan brands. I primarily use Zebra brand. Whenever I visit Japan or a Japanese bookstores in Singapore I always buy their stationery.
@@MyawMyaw01 I use Sakura, magic, fadebomb markers, fadebomb caps.
I draw manga and I primarily use Pilot or Mitsubishi's Uni brand. It's my most favorite brand so far.
@@user-jr3st4dp2u whoa, like manga as in you publish it? Or as a hobby? Either way, that’s really cool.
@@definitelynot.9364 I'm planning to publish manga in Japan. It's titled"Moriyama's Children". The story is about six orphans going for adventure to fight various evil forces to save reality (aka Multiverse). The storyline was inspired from Mario and Luigi RPG. Characters inspired from Shimajiro anime. Enemies was inspired from Final Fantasy and Earthbound. So all the inspiration mixed up in one manga.
(By the way I was also a huge fan of alternate universe and monsters)
The difference is incredible! Thank you for this review
I wish schools still used chalk and boards, my school uses expo markers and they are always dead
Ivy League and really old schools still use chalk and boards for some departments. You can see it on UA-cam they even have the sliding boards which is really cool.
For a dried dry-erase pen, you can tie a string on the back and whirl it around like a helicopter to force ink back into the tip. Make sure to put tape over the holes in the cap to prevent splatter.
@@totally_not_a_bot wow you must have been so bored in class to think of that. I always just asked for a new one.
@@BGRUBBIN I'm generally a stationery nerd and randomly picked that up on the way.
your whiteboard hasnt been replaced with a smartboard?
I’m glad this company is alive and well!
I really respect the guy for passing on his machines and his recipe so that a good product wouldn't die ❤
That was impressive! Seriously, props to the makers!
as an art teacher who often demonstrates drawing techniques on the chalk board: I NEED THIS
I hope you found the secret recipe ☺️
The recipe aside, the machine and the mixing process and techniques is what allowed the mix to be that perfect. I scrolled down the comments to find that the type of mixing machine used for this brand is used for many other stuff in other industries first and the fact that regular chalk is mass produced in less than a day compared to this brand.
It just makes those many hours doing problem sets so much more pleasant
I watched a short about exactly this s while back and I'm actually so happy it had a happy ending.
Companies such as hagaromo are a cultural heritage
I can feel that smoothness through the screen
Oh god I remember seeing the video about this so long ago. Have no idea the legacy lived on. That’s nice
It’s so cool that it still exists!
I Remember reading about that back then and thinking what a shame it was that it would get lost.
Even if I don’t use or need chalk at all there’s something beautiful about such perfected artisanship
I didn't think I cared about chalk. But that's some GOOD ASS CHALK
I’ve never seen someone so passionate about chalk
If you ever need over engineered stuffs, you can count on the Japanese to make it for you.
I'm so glad the panic buying saved it in a way
Remember me when you get famous, this channel is amazing!
I'm remember this story! I'm glad they found a way to keep the formula alive
Japanese art and writing supplies are completely unmatched. The art community will tell you all about it!
Ooh do Roche pastels next! They use very particular binders and lots of pure pigments still.
Secret formulas like this should have to be deposited into a secure bank for safe keeping. Just in case the people who know the secret formula die, the formula won't die with them.
Ugh, I heard the hagaromo chalk writing and it was so good to hear
Can I point out that a Japanese man entrusted his company's legacy to a Korean man? It makes my heart happy that something as deceptively simplistic as chalk could be a bridge between two men of cultures not known for their beautiful and peaceful relationship with one another
Glad to hear this continue on.
My brother got a box of this for free somehow.
I think he bought 2 boxes for his teacher, and they ended up sending 3.
Anyone else get cold shivers from seeing the chalk write, like you hate the feeling of halk writing so much your body just reacts to even seeing it being done?
That was the smartest business move ever. They announce they’re shutting down, let all the math professors buy up their remaining stock at full price… then just continuing to make it under another company.
Not precisely the brilliance of New Coke v. Classic Coke-- since it may have been the only move to keep the business viable at all; this essentially happened to American cars as an example.
Transitions are expensive. If they didn’t do this, he wouldn’t have been able to A. Find the person he could trust enough to carry on the company or B. have the money to completely restart manufacturing in a different location
I mean in fairness 8 years is a pretty good demonstration that they didn’t expect to find a successor
That’s the most interesting short I’ve seen all week!
I didn’t know that I needed high-end chalk, but now I do. Step 1: Get a chalkboard! 😂
did advertising convince you that you needed chalk? this is why we have inflation.
@@durden91tyler Yep. It did. I sold my house, my car, got three jobs and now all I do is buy chalk.
I love that chalk!!! It’s literally the best chalk out there
He should have held a 'Willy Wonka' style contest to find a new chalk master...
So he sould shove people in the chalk making machines and have musical numbers over It?
Will there be a tribe of small people?

I never knew I would be so invested in a video about chalk.
My department buys Hagoromo. It's amazing, teaching Calc with this chalk just hits different
Anybody else the sound of teachers writing on blackboard with chalk? Markers on whiteboards too. So satisfying to hear.
This chalk was the best. Tasted so good
Japanese craftsmanship is on another level
Man no wonder they can write in Kanji with chalk. Their supreme chalk changed a culture.
No wonder those blackboard art in Japan looks so clean!
I grew up in Japan, and chalks were always like this. I was surprised to see bristle American chalks when I visited there.
I work in schools i haven't seen a chalk board in years. These days its all white boards and markers. The only thing we use chalk for is letting the kids draw on the asphalt.
Wow, I had no idea. I'm so glad it's still being produced. God bless high quality products
You had me at “Lipstick on a mirror!”.
can't believe it's already almost 10years, i watch that video when it trending
it's nice that this Japanese man was willing to pass down the legacy to a Korean. My own manager finds it a little offensive I drive a Japanese car as I work for a Korean company, it's understandable why their hatred for each other goes all the way back
"The last products to go out of business are always the best ones" so true!
One of my teachers in Highschool had a classic black slate chalkboard and used hagaromo, hands down the BEST chalk to ever be created. Way better than dry erase markers, nothing will compare to the tactile feedback of drawing on a chalkboard with hagaromo.
I remember this when it happened, good to see that it still lives on
I remember this! Professors were dealing it like it was drugs. 😂
I love that stuff like this happens in our world.
Humans are so odd sometimes, but in a good way (again, sometimes), and this can make our little antics so very amusing.
I saw on TikTok that regular chalk actually needs to drenched in water in order to be vibrant. Try it out yourself, I wanna see the results.
I actually heard about this a while ago but didn’t know they remade it. Nice.
Had a professor refuse to use the other chalk so we didn’t have class that day 😅
You should do videos on Japanese mechanical pencils and sharpeners too. Those are over-engineered too and are nothing short of perfection.
It’s good, but it also depends on the surface it’s used on
Literally so many products on the world you just find a Japanese version and its the best in the world
You have absolutely no idea how much of a difference this kind of chalk would have made in the several math and science courses I enrolled in. I might have actually stayed in the engineering program if this chalk was available to my professors and if they knew how to write words legibly
My freshman calc professor hoarded this stuff. He had dozens of boxes just in case to last until his retirement.
I never wanted a specific brand of chalk in my life until now
God this was so funny at the time ! I'm very glad the chalk survived, the teachers and profs must be ecstatic
That first stroke broke me. Omg!
We need those stuff for sure. Quality will always win over quantity if targetted properly
I mainly do art with graphite, charcoal, colored pencils, and watercolor. But, sometimes I get a wild hair and want to make something expressive and abstract. I can do that with my normal supplies, but they each have their own drawbacks. For these occasions I love to use my hagoromo chalks on paper. It's fast and loose and can lay down an impressive amount of color in one or two strokes. I have to blend with a paper towel or tortillon l, but that's not too big of a deal. And it erases perfectly. The only downside is that the artwork is pretty delicate so it needs a varnish to be safe for handling. I recommend it for anyone looking for a wilder, more colorful and expressive style
when you care and love your profession…you want the best
I hope that recipe never gets lost, thats incredible
Best example of Japanese people taking one profession to the next level 🤗👏👏👏
Math student here. Mathematicians do actually use Hagoromo. A professor of mine, Benson Farb, was part of that panic buy of the original Japanese Hagoromo and has dozens of cases.
Lots of classrooms now have a smart board for teachers to use. Been hard getting them to part with their projectors
By the time i graduated high school in 2012, almost every classroom was using smart boards. 😢 and if they didnt have a smart board, they had dry erase boards. I miss the chalkboards of my elementary school and middle school days.
Unfortunately, schools don’t use chalkboards anymore. They’re all whiteboards and smart boards. You’d be hard pressed to find a chalkboard in a classroom nowadays.
Why is this unfortunate? Less messy to me!!
japanese craftmanship is insane even to the smallest mundane thing like chalk
Japanese stationaries are simply amazing! And you know the quality is impeccable when something as mundane as writing with a good pen could bring ypu simple joy.
