About this material
Tombow Irojiten is a range of colored pencils based on colors found in nature. The color names come from nature too, such as kingfisher, cherry blossom shell and dandelion. The soft, smooth lead works for both writing and drawing.
There are 100 colors in total. Volumes 1, 2 and 3 come in book-shaped boxes of 30 colors each, grouped by tone in sets of ten. There is also a 36-color set chosen by a colored pencil artist, and all 100 colors are sold as single pencils.
Each group of ten shares one tone, such as pale, vivid or deep. This makes it easy to pick colors in the same tone for one picture.
