About this material
Coupy Pencil is a colored pencil made entirely of core, with no wooden casing. Sakura first released it in 1973. The core is made with synthetic resin. It is hard to break, erases easily with an eraser, and can be sharpened. It combines the easy writing of a colored pencil with the bright color of a crayon. It has about four times as much core as a regular colored pencil.
Sets come in 12, 15, 18, 24, 30, and 60 colors, in tins, soft cases, and other packaging. Each color is also sold on its own. The 60-color tin includes a sharpener and an eraser.
Any part of the stick can color, so you can lay it on its side to fill large areas. Colors stay clean when layered.
