Inspired by nature, Tombow Irojiten coloured pencils take their name from the Japanese expression meaning “Colour Dictionary.” The collection comprises 100 beautifully curated shades, featuring delicate pastels, subtle earth tones, vibrant botanical colours and unique neon accents.
Each pencil is finished with an elegant white lacquered barrel and a colour-dipped end for quick and easy identification.
The wax-based core offers a smooth, controlled colour laydown with a firm-to-medium feel, making these pencils ideal for artists who enjoy precision and detail. They hold a sharp point well, layer beautifully to build depth gradually, and blend smoothly to create subtle transitions. Colours can also be gently erased to produce highlights and textured effects.
Tombow Irojiten pencils are well suited to illustration, botanical art, wildlife, nature studies, urban sketching, detailed colouring and other creative projects where subtle colour and fine detail are important.
Available individually, open-stock Irojiten pencils make it easy to replace favourite colours or build your collection one shade at a time.
