(Front Akagi Hihachi Shoten was founded in 1997) as a long-standing pencil manufacturer boasting a share after Mitsubishi Pencil Tombow pencil, and has been leading the Japanese pencil industry for over 80 years and fallen in business due to bubble breakdown. The Korin brand pencils have been popular for many years with the triangular face logo, and are going to be disappeared from the Japanese market. However, the Korin pencil production factory operating in Thailand at the time the local capital will try to supply the Korein brand colored pencils to the domestic market of Thailand. However, the core of the colored pencils, depends on supplying from other companies, and the quality is not stable and the sales are poor. In 2009 Tokyo started a color core production factory in Thailand with technical support from the long-established color core manufacturer in Sumida. When the supply of high quality colored cores began to sell Korin brand colored pencils rapidly, and now it became familiar with the largest number one colored pencil sold in Thailand. In 22 years of Reiwa the first time, Korin brand colored pencils are fully revived in Japan with the triangular face logo. Review: Good pencils but... - Good pencils overall but there are a couple of drawbacks. First the good. The color seleciton is quite broad for a 30 pencil set due to the double-end nature of the pencils. The pigment is very rich with lots of bright colors. For me at least, they sharpen to a good point and hold it for quite a while. Blending the pencils with one another works quite well. Now the negatives. Since the pencils are double-ended, you are only getting 1/2 a pencil worth of any one pigment/color. This means you are likely to run out of your most often used colors much more quickly that single color full-sized pencils. The pencils come unsharpened. By the time you hand sharpen 60 points, you have lost even more of the pencil, especially if you happen to have one or two that are stubborn and break off while sharpening. I did not have this issue but some of my friends who purchased the same set did. Thus far, I have not experienced any crumbling cores but again friends have had this issue as well. Overall, the pencils are quite nice with rich, vivid colors and are a pretty good deal. I do not regret my purchase. I even bought a set for a coloring friend. Review: Superb pencils for adult coloring books! - Ever since I got into the coloring book craze, I've been in search for the perfect medium. I have a collection of sakura gelly rolls and staedtler fine liner colored pens. Although it's fun to color with it I still wanted the challenge of creating dimension to the images that I switched to colored pencils. I splurged on polychromos, irojitens acquiring their full set. I felt they are better applied on stonehenge paper than on coloring books. So I've been on the search for colored pencils that work well on regular paper. My search is over Colleen pencils are it! Got it today. Tried it on regular paper and it went down smoothly. The color lay down was great. Blends very well too. Color payout is so good for a student grade pencil it's comparable to artist grade pencils. The core though is not as hard that it crumbles when applied leaving dust on your work. For the price and variety of colors you get this is a superb choice for adult coloring books. ## Features - One box of Colleen No.787 Hexagonal Colored Pencil 30 Pencils 60 Colors.

However, I'd be much happier if they were one color per pencil rather than two. Other than that, good value. Colors lay down well, and there are lots of good reds. It took me quite a while to make a decent color chart because of the double points. Also, I won't be able to use these standing up in a cup because I won't be able to see the bottom end color, so these will have to live in their box. I did not have the trouble with broken leads as others have reported, and I'm going to blame rough shipping on the broken leads. I made the mistake of ordering the NEON set, rather than the regular set. It seems that both sets have most colors in common, so it's not too big a deal, but if I reorder them, I'll certainly get the regular set next time. Again, I quite like these pencils and am happy to add them to my collection. ## Frequently Bought Together - q305 - Staedtler Double Hole Pencil Sharpener, Two Holes for Standard Pencils, Large Colored Pencils, and Makeup Pencils, 512 001 BK - STAEDTLER pencil sharpener, premium quality sharpener with screw-on lid, prevents accidental openings, compact size for pencil case and work-station, 511 63BK (Pack of 1) , Assorted colors. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/18131955-q305](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/18131955-q305) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
