With the acquisition of Royal Tarence BV and Bruynzeel BV in the Netherlands, Sakura has become one of the world's top pigment companies, producing and selling a wide range of art materials, from colored pencils to oil paints.

Sakura's main products in China are still art materials, Sakura brand oil pastels and solid paints are very good, solid pigments are equipped with every watercolor lover, as for mechanical pencils, the layout is not much, only three series.

The most well-known mechanical pencil of the Sakura brand is naturally the 12X series, officially called the "anti-breaking lead mechanical pencil", carefully study the process, only the all-copper movement and fixed metal nib, there is no other cushioning and other anti-breaking lead technology, there is a certain role in protecting the lead, but it is still not qualified to call it anti-breaking lead. The price of the 12X series is around 20 yuan and can be purchased for daily use.

On the whole, Sakura's mechanical pencil is far inferior to other mainstream Japanese brands in research and development, with a single product and no price advantage, so it is not particularly recommended to buy.
