I've made several orders of these pencils from that website and received excellent service each time. I recommend it highly.

They fit my writing and work well on smooth papers. Others said they were similar to the Mono 100's, and I was curious. Yesterday, I recieved a box of Mono 100 3B's. The test was on. A Mono 100 was smoother and blacker than the plain Mono 3B. I began to think to extra price was justified. Barely, but still justified. Since a Mono 4B was handy, I threw that into the test and was suprised. The Mono 100 3B and the Mono 4B were, to the best of my ability to test, exactly the same. Hmm...clever marketing. At the least, I'll save some money. I fell in love with the Tombow Mono 3B and 4B pencils. They fit my writing and work well on smooth papers.

I'm glad to hear you like my site, and don't worry about the language, it's mostly about telling pencil stories with pictures anyway.

This is my first post in your blog, and I must thank you for bringing me into the world of pencils. I've just recently started to get really interested in them, and much so because of your site with excellent reviews and many pictures. I'm quite fond of japanese pencils too, and have managed to aquire some myself. Not these (yet) though. They're quite intriguing, so I might wanna buy them some day. ;-) I've started my own pencil-blog these days, and would really like you to visit it. Though it is in Norwegian, it might be of interest to you as it'll be rather picture-heavy. Best regards from Norway! Hello there!

They can deliver worldwide, But because they're focusing on the korean customers, you need to send an e-mail to the site administrator instead of online one-click buy. If anyone who want to buy pencils from that site has some problem especially because of language, leave e-mail address below. I will be really pleased to help.

Thank you for this additional contribution. I'm not sure how comfortable those who don't speak Korean will be with ordering pencils this way, but I'm sure many will want to have a look. It has a quite complete listing of quality Japanese pencils for sale. Kent, your directions work perfectly! Thank you for this additional contribution.

Put the word "연필" into the edit box on the middle-left of the page. Or, move your mouse pointer on the 4th word under "CATEGORY MENU", and press 4th word on the poped-up menu. Then you'll see various vendor's name. Remember this site only sells Tombow, Mitsubish and Pentel pencils. I'm definitely not related with that site. I just want to help the people who visit here.

Tombow 8900, MONO J, MONO R, MONO RS, MONO, MONO100, MONO Marksheet, Pentel 999, Mitsubishi Hi-Uni. I could buy them in one online store, but it's for Koreans. Here's the product search result of the word "Pencil" in Korean. http://www.japan09.net/index.php?pgurl=shop/sh_schgds_list If you want to buy some pencils from that site, maybe you need to pay by KRW, and today's currency rate is about 921KRW/USD. I'll send an e-mail to store administrator if they can deliver worldwide. I hope this information is helpful to the people who want to have those Japanese pencils, but could find them nowhere.
