Tombow - IROJITEN - Colour Dictionary - Set 1

IROJITEN-Colour Dictionary-Set 1 - IROJITEN, from the Japanese iro (colour) and jiten (dictionary), is Tombow's definitive colour pencil collection, and a true collector's classic. Presented in elegant book-like cases, each set reads like a beautifully curated colour encyclopedia. The pencils themselves feature a refined off-white finish with colour-matched ends, making every detail intentional, right down to the packaging. Tombow's mastery of wooden pencils is well established, and the IROJITEN Collection is the fullest expression of that craft, with 90 unique shades across 3 complementary sets, each chosen with the precision of a colour reference library. A long-standing staple in Japan, the IROJITEN is as much an object of beauty as it is a tool for creative work.
