Kita-Boshi pencils, a favorite amongst Japanese pencil aficionados, is a 5th generation pencil maker, founded 1913. Like many a thoughtful manufacturer, it's a company whose ethos can be read in its aphorisms - from the founder, “A pencil sacrifices itself to serve people. Both humans and pencils need cores,” to the current president, "You can't write with a pencil unless you sharpen yourself. No matter how good the core is, if you don't sharpen it, you can't dream." Pencils made from highest-quality cedar and cypress. Each pencil writes about 31 miles (longer than a marathon!) Made in Japan.
Details:
HB pencil with eraser
Deep maroon with gold embossing on one side
Silver embossing on reverse
Hexagonal
Box of 12 pencils
