Brand: Tombow Pencil Co.
Made in: Japan
These are pretty nice Tombow Mark Sheets that are no longer available in this particular color way(about 10 years old)....comes with a plastic point protector not pictured.
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.”
