Amulet that blooms cherry blossoms in the pencil case
Sunstar Stationery has been selling a pencil with a cherry blossom motif, "Sakura Saku Empitsu," from mid-October. The price is 394 yen (excluding tax).
A package that can be used as a gift as it is
There are two types, "Somei Yoshino" and "Kawazu Sakura", and the body reproduces the color of each flower. The surface is pearly, and you can enjoy delicate color changes depending on how the light hits it.

The axis is in the shape of a cherry blossom! It took about a year and a half to develop with the cooperation of a long-established pencil factory in Tokyo.

Furthermore, if you carefully shave with a knife or cutter, shavings like cherry blossom petals will appear. It's the first time I've had a shavings that I'm sorry to throw away.
If you sharpen a pencil, it's a normal residue,
Slowly scrape with a knife to make petals
By the way, because it is uneven and the hand is not slippery, there is no complaint about writing comfort. Since it does not roll on the desk, it seems to be useful even in the mark sheet method test. How about adding a message to the package and giving it as a gift for students and new students?
With messages such as "Do your best" and "Congratulations"
It's a very stylish product that seems to be Japanese, but it seems that this is an idea that won the "Sunstar Stationery Award" (at the time of 2015) at the "Stationery Idea Contest" held every year by the company. Recruitment starts around November every year, so if you are interested, why not try it?
