Founded in 1921 in Japan, it is one of the top ten brands of art supplies, and its pigments enjoy a good reputation in the industry
Sakura was founded in 1921. In line with the trend of the times, he has been focusing on improving the crayons of the time to solve this new problem. In the process of improvement, the developers were reminded of the colored chalk that is often used in Europe. Colored chalk is very expressive in terms of free color mixing, but because it is a powdery material, coloring on ordinary drawing paper can only be achieved with fixing liquid. So, is it possible to attach colored chalk to the drawing paper as well, like crayons? With this in mind, after repeated research and experimentation, Sakura finally invented a new type of painting material that is unique in the world in 1925 - oil pastels.
OIL PASTELS WERE DEVELOPED BY COMBINING THE EASE OF USE OF CRAYONS AND THE BRIGHT COLORS AND BEAUTIFUL HAIR COLORS OF PASTELS, SO THEY ARE CALLED "CRAY-PAS". The name has also become a company name of Sakura Japan Head Office and a registered trademark of oil pastels. Oil pastels produced by other companies can only be called "OIL PASTEL".
