Description:
Japanese patent no. 71276, with 2450 Japanese characters arranged on a belt band of 70 lines, each with 35 letters, numbers and symbols. The Japanese dictionary contains around 50,000 characters, so developing a typewriter proved very difficult. This machine was unsuccessful on a large scale, so this model is very rare today!
