Sakura Cray-Pas Thick-Barrel Oil Pastels 12 Colours – LP12R | Made in Japan

Cray-Pas is the original oil pastel — Sakura invented the format in 1925 by combining crayon and pastel, and the name has been the generic term in Japan ever since. This is the thick-barrel (太巻) 12-colour set made for small hands.

• 12 colours: yellow, light orange, brown, red, pink, light blue, yellow-green, green, blue, grey, black, white
• Soft oil pastel — blends and layers, unlike a hard wax crayon
• Box 152 × 90 × 19 mm, with elastic band
• Model LP12R — Made in Japan by Sakura Color Products

Note this is the Cray-Pas oil pastel set. Sakura also make a thick-barrel crayon set in identical packaging — the crayon is harder and better for line work; this one is for blending. Shipped from Sydney, Australia.
