Tombow MONO 100 HB (12-set box)

Description:

Contains 12 cedar wood pencils. The KUM Masterpiece needs a worthy counterpart to live up to its full potential. Cheap pencils crumble and splinter dismally under the grip of its blades. Introducing one of the best pencils ever: the Japanese Tombow 100. It is, as it should be, made of cedar wood, which can be peeled extremely finely. As the lead in Japanese pencils produces slightly fainter lines in all grades than German pencils, HB is always the right choice for writing with these instruments. Founded in 1913 by pencil manufacturer Harunosuke Ogawa, this Japanese family-owned business today enjoys an excellent reputation among creative people from around the globe. Entering into a world dominated by the traditional four treasures of Japanese writing culture - ink, brush, inkstone and paper - the pencil made a big splash in Japan in the early 20th century, and its use spread rapidly. The pencil boom was fuelled by the introduction of the Latin alphabet, which did not lend itself as well to brushstrokes. Tombow soon earned a reputation as a producer of particularly high-quality, reliable pencils, replete with in-house production of leads and wooden shafts, and an attention to detail that is to be expected from the birthplace of calligraphy. But wherever there are people, there are bound to be people making mistakes. So it was only natural that the pencils were soon supplemented with an eraser, which also stood out on account of its particular suitability for creative undertakings. Though the Tombow brand has since established itself as the go-to name for a wide range of other high-quality writing instruments, it is still associated with the product of the first hour: the pencil.
