This 22-hardness set is designed for artists and designers who create drawings and pencil sketches.

The barrel color is a combination of the traditional Japanese color of shrimp brown and a luxurious wine red, and the hardness is indicated on six sides in gold lettering and has a gold ring, giving it a luxurious design.

The pencil core is made of an even mixture of graphite and clay with few impurities, resulting in a thick, smooth writing experience.

This complete set of Mitsubishi Hi-Uni pencils features all 22 grades, from ultra-soft to needle-sharp, in a handsome black storage tin. With a wider range of options than virtually any other pencil set on the market, the Hi-Uni Art Set is a wonderful choice for the serious pencil artist. Use the harder grades for fine detail and architectural drafting, and use the softer grades for shading and expressive sketching. You\'ll be ready to render absolutely any subject in graphite with this premium pencil set.

Mitsubishi\'s Hi-Uni pencils are the flagship of a proud and historic manufacturer, and they are widely considered the best pencils available anywhere. The Hi-Uni design exceeds all reasonable expectations and handles every detail with elegance and seriousness of purpose. Products like this are the reason we sell art supplies, so please indulge us as we describe each aspect of this outstanding object.

We\'ll start with the graphite core. Mitsubishi\'s patented graphite production process is the heart and soul of every Hi-Uni. The carbon particle size is incredibly small and evenly distributed through the lead, creating Hi-Uni\'s signature smooth feel and generous laydown. No other graphite manufacturer comes close to Hi-Uni\'s combination of creamy texture, strength, and point retention. Even the harder grades are smooth, and the softer grades are unbelievably dark and rich.
