The Paperblanks HB Pencil Kara-Ori is a beautifully crafted writing pencil inspired by an exquisite traditional woman’s kimono from Japan’s Edo period. The design showcases silk dyed with beni, a pigment extracted from safflower petals, and lacquered in gold, reflecting the elegance and artistry associated with Noh theatre costumes. Made as a high-quality #2 HB unsharpened pencil, it is suitable for writing, sketching, note-taking, drawing, journaling, schoolwork, office tasks, and creative projects. The pencil features black coloured wood, a smooth cylindrical design, and a high gloss finish that enhances the vibrancy of the wraparound artwork, while the Paperblanks “Iconic P” in gold foil on the rounded end adds a refined finishing touch. Measuring approximately 178mm in height, this orange Kara-Ori pencil is a practical, stylish, and collectible stationery item, perfect for students, writers, artists, stationery lovers, and anyone who appreciates designs inspired by heritage, theatre, and traditional craftsmanship.
