A meeting of two stationery icons, the Blackwing x Moleskine Sakura Graphite Pencil Set celebrating a meaningful time of year in Japanese culture.
The blossoming of cherry trees is a major event throughout Japan, where the delicate flowers and their short life provide a stark reminder that although life is beautiful, it is also ephemeral and short. Moleskine's Sakura Graphite Pencils pay tribute to this time with a delicate floral design on its body.Made with incense cedar and a Japanese graphite core, Blackwing shares Moleskine's love for classics of design, bringing back time-tested pencil forms that continue to impress well into the 21st century. Blackwing pencils made an impact in the 1930s when the pencil's exceptional quality and distinctive style made it the creative tool of choice for some of history's most influential artists, writers, and thinkers like John Steinbeck, Bugs Bunny creator Chuck Jones and more. The modern Blackwing brings that classic design into the 21st century, offering a writing and drawing experience that regular pencils can't match.The Set includes 12 pencils with a Firm graphite core which stays sharp and smooth for graceful writing and sketching. Each pencil also features a metal ferrule, and a replaceable eraser.
