It's a special, wide-core, soft-lead pencil from Japan, which is commonly used by students there to practice their calligraphy. These luxuriously dark pencils (called \u003cem\u003ekouhitsu shosha\u003c\/em\u003e in Japanese) are deeper and bolder than other drawing pencils — to say nothing of the scratchy grey pencils found in U.S. schools.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough it's originally intended for writing, we love this style of pencil as a sketching tool, because it combines the line variability of a stiff brush pen with the erasability and ease of use of a pencil. Even though the core is so much wider and darker than a conventional pencil, it sharpens to a fine point.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe've collected five calligraphy pencils in this set: one HB, one 2B, one 4B, and two 10B — the softest, most-popular, and quickest-wearing grade. For all kinds of drawing, sketching, and hand-lettering, this is an invaluable little package.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMade from genuine California incense cedar.
