These Sakura Pencils Release Cherry Blossom Petals When Sharpened

ADVERTISEMENT

For the Japanese Sun-Star design contest in 2015, graphic designer Hiroaki Doi created something truly unique – a sakura-shaped pencil.

Apparently, creating a pencil in any other non-conventional shape is pretty difficult. Doi not only managed to create a pencil shaped like a sakura, but his pencil also produces shavings shaped like cherry blossom petals when sharpened. Pretty cool, huh? You can buy these pencils through the Sun-Star website for around $4.
