Calligraphy Pencil 6B

Japanese pencil manufacturer Eye Ball's calligraphy pencil (or kouhitsu shosha) incorporates graphite so soft and dark that students in Japan use it to practice their lettering. The extra-wide 6B lead sharpens to a fine, strong point, allowing seamless transitions between thick and thin lines. combining the variability of a brush pen with the erasability and ease of use of a pencil. Japanese charachters are imprinted in electric blue on the irridescent purple lacquered barrel.
