Available in sets of 12 in HB, B, and 2B, perfect for those who like their lines or drawings a little bolder!About Kita-Boshi Pencil Co:Kita-Boshi Pencil Co started as a lumber company in Japan in 1909. In 1944, they started making their first pencil. The company’s mission is to follow the “pencil principle”. The pencil principle was inspired by how a pencil sacrifices its own body to let everyone write — and to do so, the core/lead is required to be centered precisely. While fewer people are using pencils these days, Kita-Boshi continues their mission to re-innovate the pencil industry with new products. They came out with their “Pencil for Grownups” in 2012 and earlier in 2018 they came out with “Beginning Pencil”
