Tokyo Pencil is Kitaboshi’s tribute to the historic city where Japan's pencil industry first began over a century ago. Each pencil is crafted in one of Tokyo's remaining traditional workshops (machi-koba), maintaining the exact standards that established the city as a global pencil-making capital.
This is a genuine, small-batch product made entirely in Tokyo. By choosing Tokyo Enpitsu, you are holding a piece of a generations-old local craft refined into beautiful, everyday writing and drawing tools.
- Packaging Note: If you buy 12, they will come in a beautiful, traditional dozen box—perfect for gifting or storing your collection.
- Care Tip: These pencils are precision-engineered so the lead sits perfectly snug against the wood. Because of this high-tolerance construction, a snapped lead is almost always a result of how the pencil was sharpened or handled, rather than a manufacturing flaw. Treat them with care to enjoy their flawless performance!
