Brand: Tombow Pencil Co.
Made in: Japan
This is another one of those special sets of F, HB, H and 2H with the colored ends. This must have been a fad as many brands did this set.
This Japanese company was founded in 1913 and is still manufacturing fine writing instruments nearly 110 years later.
According to their website, “Tombow (tonbo) means “dragonfly” in Japanese and was often referred to as akizu/akitsu in ancient times. Since Japan was called Akitsu shima (dragonfly island in English) in the past, the name of the company also represents our desire to represent Japan's stationery industry.”
