A Sharp WD-A30 “Shōin” (書院) — a Japanese electronic word processor from the late Shōwa era (昭和時代), representing a key stage in Japan’s technological and industrial design history. The WD-A30 was designed for Japanese-language document processing, featuring a kana/kanji keyboard, built-in LCD screen, and integrated thermal printing mechanism. This unit showcases Sharp’s innovation during the transitional period between traditional typewriters and early computers. With its mint-green casing, katakana/romaji key layout, and classic cassette ribbon compartment, the WD-A30 reflects the distinctive aesthetic of late-20th-century Japanese office design. A true collector’s piece for fans of vintage electronics, retro computing, and industrial design, especially those interested in Japan’s evolution from analog to digital communication tools. Ideal for display in a vintage tech collection, design studio, or museum setting. Method of Shipment FedEx or Japan Post NOTICE The lot will be carefully packaged and shipped by FedEx or Japan Post.
