A Ruler That Draws More Than Just Lines 🖊️
Want to draw straight lines and feel inspired while doing it? Meet the Japanese inspirational ruler that’s more than just a school supply. Released on April 28, 2025, this clever ruler from Tapirō brings together the wisdom of history and the joy of beautiful design. It's based on the thoughts of Eiichi Shibusawa, a famous Japanese thinker who believed that good actions and smart choices go hand in hand, just like lines on paper.
Whether you're a student, a journaler, or someone who just loves cool stationery, this unique ruler might be the perfect tool to add meaning to your everyday moments.
What Makes This Ruler So Special?
✨ It’s More Than Just a Tool
The Slit Ruler PE15cm isn't your ordinary plastic ruler. It has an engraved design taken directly from the original cover of Shibusawa’s famous book, "The Analects and the Abacus" (published in 1916). That makes this a ruler with quote engraving, a mini reminder of powerful ideas, right in your pencil case!
Each time you pick it up, you're not just measuring paper. You're also connecting with a piece of Japanese philosophy. That’s what makes it a true Japanese inspirational ruler.

This transparent durable ruler has the look of glass but is made to last. The engraved scale is super easy to read, no matter the background color of your paper. Whether you’re sketching or solving math problems, your lines will always be sharp and straight.
Plus, the slit ruler PE15cm uses a special locking system. When you press down, it stays perfectly still. When you lift your fingers, it slides like a breeze. That means no more wiggly lines, no more slipping, and no more tired hands. It’s great for fast work and perfect for anyone who wants neat results without the stress.
