About this material
Uni Colored Pencil Pericia is a colored pencil that Mitsubishi Pencil made as an art material. Around 2007, the official product page listed these features: a soft core that draws smoothly, a high amount of fine pigment for strong color, and good resistance to fading in light.
At that time, it came in sets of 12, 24, and 36 colors. The case combined wood and aluminum, and the lid opened into a stand that held the pencils upright.
The same page explained that the core uses a special wax, so colors can be layered and mixed. The core also dissolves in oils used for oil painting, such as turpentine, so you can soften lines with a brush dipped in the oil.
