MUJI Pencils

I❤️文房具‼️

Anyone who knows me knows that I am obsessed with stationary and pens.

I've been wanting to get a larger set of color pencils for a while and one day after work I decided to roam around my favorite store, 無印良品 (Mujirushi Ryohin) on my walk home. 

First of all, Japan continues to impress me. 

I was roaming the pen area and I saw this. 

Pen testing paper in the states is NEVER artistic like this. 

さすが日本人！

I roamed around the stationary area a bit more and found that they had this cute little cardboard tube filled with 60 color pencils!

Headed across the way to McDs to check them out and when I opened it up, I realized I set myself up for a long battle. 

Because it's Muji and because their packaging concept is "when packaging products, MUJI seeks not to adorn them but rather to highlight their natural colors and shapes," the pencils were simply wooden with color numbers engraved in to the very base of the pencils and in the tube a legend was provided to tell you the name of the color that corresponded to each number. 

I decided to go through and label each pencil while coloring the guide. 

I REALLY don't understand their numbering method. 

Maybe it's because I'm not Japanese??
