Tombow Irojiten 36 Set with Sharpener and Guide

When translated literally from Japanese to English, Irojiten means colour dictionary, or colour encyclopaedia. Whichever translation you choose, it is a pretty apt way of describing these pencils.This set opens like a book, to present the 36 pencils, along with an included sharpener and guide.The pencils themselves are high-quality wax-based pencils which blend and layer easily without the waxy build-up associated with cheaper pencils. Each pencil is coated with a layer of brilliant white paint and then has the end dipped to match the colour of the lead. All barrel print is silver hotfoil embossed to match the display boxes.
