	A Tale of Two Pencils: Charles R. Keeran's Eversharp and Hayakawa Tokuji's Ever-Ready Sharp
		In fact, very few of Hayakawa�s early pencils survive anywhere, for on September 1, 1923 the Great Kantō earthquake leveled the Hayakawa Brothers factory, a disaster that also took the lives of Hayakawa Tokuji�s young family.
		For Hayakawa Tokuji, the numerous gaps and inconsistencies in English-language versions of his story were finally cleared up through the kind assistance of Hiromi Morita of the Sharp Corporation and the material so freely shared by veteran collector Masa Sunami.
		Hayakawa Tokuji was the founder of Sharp, and he did invent a mechanical pencil in 1915 when he was only 21 years old.

	History
		As successor to his father as head of Shiseido in 1915, Shinzo had relatively little time for making art, and many of his photographs were destroyed in the Great Kantō Earthquake of 1923; only a small number of his works survive.
		Shinzo organized the group Shashin Geijutsu-sha (The Photography of Art) in 1921, and in 1923 he proposed a theoretical framework for modern photography, the first to be published in Japan, in his essay The Light with Its Harmony.
		Shinzo’s younger brother Roso Fukuhara, on the other hand, enjoyed the freedom to pursue his art full time and became one of the pioneers of modernism in Japanese photography.
