Description

This pencil (or "enpitsu" in Japanese) is made for children and features cartoon-like designs of a blonde girl with blue and red flowers in her hair. Her face is repeated amid other red and pink flowers on a white background around the whole pencil. It is one of a set of four pencils in two patterns, purchased from the children's book department of a large department store in Tokyo.
