The IROJITEN are high-quality, handmade coloured pencils. “IROJITEN“ is the Japanese word for “dictionary of colours“ – which embodies how these high-quality pencils are presented. It is the perfect name for a pencil that is released in nine beautiful hardcover-like volumes. The first IROJITEN color pencil was sold in Japan as early as 1988. The IROJITEN pencils are wax-based so you can create precise lines and details. The pencils have a stylish creamy white finish and their end piece corresponds with the lead colour. The pencils are available in three different sets of 30 colours, each assorted in three individual boxes of ten pencils per box. Together, the three sets create the impression of a “dictionary of colours“ – the perfect gift for collectors of high-quality art material.
