Tombow Irojiten Colour Pencil – Maple Sugar | Single

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, as there is a brilliant range of olours.

These high-quality wax-based pencils 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.
