ARCHIVIST'S NOTES
The Beginning Pencil (KS10B-240) is Kita-Boshi's single-grade 10B wood-cased pencil, made in Japan. Its very soft, dark lead is intended for children just learning to write so they can make rich marks without pressing hard, though it is also used for brush-style lettering, calligraphy and sketching/shading. The pencil has a distinctive two-tone cedar barrel (half natural wood, half dipped in white paint) with a black "10B" end cap, and is sold in packs of two with a clear plastic cap to protect the soft point; it has no eraser.
This specimen: Beginning Pencil in grade 10B.
