The Japanese word Irojiten translates to “color dictionary,” and this carefully curated set from Tombow lives up to the name. The Woodlands set captures the poetry of the forest floor—rich loam, faded bark, soft mushroom caps, and the moody light between branches. This collection includes 30 artist-grade colored pencils housed in three linen-bound volumes, evoking the sense of leafing through a well-worn field guide.

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.
