I have recently purchased a box of Hagoromo Fulltouch chalk, the so called "dream chalk". It has only been available for purchase in the US since spring 2012, but its merits have been known for longer. So heads up, heavy chalk users :)

I'm posting because I am looking for a picture I thought I saw once that was "advertising" this chalk. It was a comical poster, with quotes like "proofs write themselves" and silly things like that. I saw this on the internet once somewhere. Has anyone else seen it? I would like to find the picture and print it out to "advertise" this chalk in my math department.

Hagoromo Fulltouch is the best! I've smuggled some back from Japan in the past.

Wish I could help you on the poster.
 
I am sad to report that Hagoromo Bungo has gone out of business. There is no more Fulltouch chalk being manufactured.

Did whiteboards kill them?
