Description:
It's my second JPI-391 but this time with Japanese 'katakana' keys. The standard plastic locks had held so tightly through the years that it was so difficult at first to pry them off so I could type the keys.

I'm an archaeologist who writes heritage books and collects Japanese ceramics as well as quite a number of typewriters that I've acquired through purchase or as gifts over the last 10 years in the Philippines as well as in the US and Japan.
I'm currently a visiting professor at a university in Japan and it is heaven here to see so many typewriters being auctioned online!
RESEARCH NOTE: When researching the Brother JP-1 on a computer with lots of screen real estate, you may find that launching the Brother Serial Number page and the Brother JP-1 By Model/Year/Serial page in new browser windows can give you interesting perspectives on changes throughout the model series.
