Cohana-Cypress Pencil with Small Flower Parquet

£18.00

Iwaki City in Fukushima Prefecture is considered the northern limit of the hinoki (Japanese cypress) tree, and the area is famous for manufacturing chopsticks using timber from forest thinning, a necessary part of forest conservation and maintenance.

Iwaki-Takahashi, Inc established a factory in an abandoned elementary school and started making pencils with the forest thinning.

Pencils are adorned with a delicate parquet of flowers featuring the Cohana logo. Yosegi Koubou Ag, a certificated specialist of Hakone Yosegi-zaiku decorative parquetry, is able to craft these exquisite designs using nine pieces of wood in a two-millimeter by two-millimeter area.

These natural cypress pencils are a delight in both scent and sensation. Each time you sharpen one, the delicate fragrance of hinoki cypress wafts through the air. A small bag is included for the pencil shavings so that you can savor the fragrance for a while after sharpening.

The pencil lead is a soft 2B, perfect for drawing and design or simply for jotting down your thoughts. It comes with a cap made of genuine leather for effortless, convenient portability. Flower Parquet Pencils make an excellent gift for a loved one or a luxurious indulgence for the true creative.

The package contains only 1 pencil
