All of us have grown up using pencils in school and we have become quite accustomed to the number 2 pencils that we use for tests and for a wide variety of other purposes. It is something that has not been challenged for many years and, although there have been some changes in pencils from time to time, there have not been any real innovations that are going to make sweeping changes.
The design of this unique pencil may not be ready to change the world, but it certainly is going to bring something enjoyable and beautiful to the classroom. They are sakura-shaped pencils, and they were created for the Japanese sun-star design contest of 2015. I have to admit, they are quite unique when you compare them with the plain, yellow pencil that many of us have used.
What might come as a surprise to you is that designing a pencil in any other shape other than a conventional shape is not very easy to do. Not only was this artist able to create a pencil shaped like a Sakura, his pencil created shavings that looked like cherry blossoms when it was sharpened!
