In Iwaki, in the northernmost area of Japan, hinoki cypress grows wild. The delicate aroma of fresh evergreen with a whiff of citrus is preserved in these pencils, made from its wood by Iwaki Takahashi — a chopstick manufacturer in operation since 1885. Unvarnished, for a wonderfully tactile earthy feel. With any luck, their simplicity, understatement and sophistication will seep into your writing. Six unsharpened 2B pencils are presented in a triangular box. Wms&Co. is the only U.S. stockist.

Owen C. ★★★★★

The wood is so light and smooth when you sharpen them, and every pencil smells like a tiny forest just landed on your desk. I keep reaching for these over my regular ones just to catch that fresh evergreen scent again.

Avery ★★★★★

The citrus note in the wood actually comes through as I write—it's like having a tiny piece of a forest on my desk. The wood is so smooth it glides across paper without any drag, and sharpening reveals that gorgeous fresh scent all over again.

Victoria ★★★★★

I wasn't expecting sharpening one of these to be such a mood boost, but that fresh evergreen-and-citrus smell lingers on my hands for a while. The wood from Iwaki feels silky against the paper as I write, not waxy or brittle. My whole pencil cup smells like a forest now.
