About this material
These are colored pencil sets from Faber-Castell, the German writing instrument maker. In Japan they are sold by Shachihata. The pencils lay down color smoothly, and the 3.3mm lead is made to resist breaking. Shachihata's color list marks them as oil-based, to set them apart from watercolor pencils.
The pencils come in five sets: 12, 24, 36, 48, and 60 colors. The 48- and 60-color sets were added in 2022.
