The Japanese word Irojiten translates to “color dictionary,” and this carefully curated set from Tombow lives up to the name. Made in three linen-bound volumes, the Rainforest collection contains 30 artist-grade colored pencils inspired by the layered richness of tropical landscapes: deep mossy greens, damp earth, sudden blooms. Each pencil is crafted with a creamy, smooth lead ideal for blending, shading, and layering. A favorite among illustrators and analog enthusiasts alike and a beautiful addition to any desk or studio.

Tombow was Founded in Japan in 1913 as a maker of wood-case pencils for students. Tombow continues to cultivate its legacy of craftsmanship, creating finely made tools that reflect a century of care, precision, and enduring quality.
