Incense Cedar Wood Body — Made in Japan

Shaft: Incense Cedar · Lead: Wax + Pigments

Each pencil is built around an incense cedar shaft — the same premium wood used by leading professional pencil makers because it sharpens cleanly without splintering and holds a fine point. True to MUJI's design philosophy, the wood is left unpainted to show its natural grain and texture. Cores are made from wax and pigments for smooth, dense colour laydown. Manufactured in Japan, not imported — a step up in quality from MUJI's overseas-made stationery lines.

Slide-open style keeps the contents visible at a glance. The minimalist unbranded box matches a clean desk, school setting, or studio space.

12 Essential Colors

A practical 12-colour selection covering the core spectrum needed for most everyday illustration, school art, and journaling work — primaries, secondaries, plus useful neutrals like brown, grey, and black. Compact enough to carry every day, complete enough to actually finish a drawing.

Made in Japan

Manufactured in Japan — a meaningful step up from MUJI's overseas-made entry-level stationery. Reflects the higher build quality, finer wood selection, and tighter manufacturing tolerances Japanese pencil makers are known for worldwide.

Incense Cedar Shaft

Incense cedar is the wood of choice for premium pencil manufacturers because it sharpens cleanly without chipping or splintering, holds a fine point, and gives a warm, natural grip. The unpainted finish lets you feel the wood directly.

Wax + Pigment Cores

Cores are formulated from wax and pigments — colour lays down smoothly with rich, even saturation. Layers blend cleanly, making this set suitable for both quick sketches and more developed colour work.

Pre-Sharpened & Ready

All 12 pencils arrive pre-sharpened. Open the box, pick a colour, start drawing — no preparation required. Sharpens cleanly with any standard pencil sharpener when needed.

Slim, Travel-Friendly Box

The slim kraft paper box is flat enough to slip into a pencil case, a sketchbook pocket, a tote, or a backpack compartment. Lightweight and unobtrusive — easy to bring along everywhere.
