Uni Mitsubishi 9800 DX Graphite Pencil Set (Deluxe Artist & Drawing Series) – 12-Piece Metal Tin for Drawing and Illustration - Grades (6B to 4H).

The Ultimate Japanese Graphite Experience
Your sketches with the legendary Uni Mitsubishi 9800 DX Art Set (12 Pencils)!
Originally launched in 1946, the 9800 series is a true pillar of Japanese culture and widely acclaimed by generations as the favorite pencil of professional animators and mangakas due to its impeccable line control.
The DX (Deluxe Drawing) version elevates this general writing classic to a specialized artistic tool.
Each pencil incorporates the famous "matured micro graphite" technology, an exclusive Mitsubishi process that eliminates any hard grain to ensure smooth lines, even shading, and simply exceptional point retention.
Grade Guide: The Versatility of the 6B to 4H Set
This 12-pencil set surgically covers the entire spectrum needed for illustration, shading, and geometric drawing. Discover the characteristics and purposes of each included grade:
  • 🖤 Soft and Dark Range (6B, 5B, 4B, 3B, 2B, B): Soft-based (Black) pencils release a generous amount of high-density micro-milled graphite. They are ideal for creating deep, velvety blacks, expressive shading, and smooth gradients effortlessly. The 6B offers maximum opacity, while intermediate grades up to B allow superb textural control for fur, hair, and anatomical depth.
  • ⚖️ Central and Versatile Range (HB, F): The perfect balance between hardness and darkness. The HB (Hard/Black) is the standard pencil for quick sketches and fluid initial strokes, while the F (Fine) has a slightly firmer lead, specifically designed to retain a sharp needle point for a long time, excellent for technical calligraphy and fine details.
  • 📏 Hard and Technical Range (H, 2H, 3H, 4H): Hard-based (Hard) pencils are formulated to lay down light grey, crisp, and extremely clean lines that resist smudging. Ideal for architectural perspectives, geometric schemes, hidden watercolor underdrawings, and minute hyper-realistic details (such as pores or skin reflections), where graphite cannot smear or stain the paper.
What Makes the 9800 DX Edition Absolutely Unique?
  • Identification End Caps: Unlike standard 9800 writing pencils which have open ends, the DX range boasts a refined finish with a lacquered cap that permanently displays the graphite grade. An essential feature for artists to instantly identify the pencil.
  • The Iconic Forest-Green Finish: The hexagonal barrel is coated with multiple layers of a rich, deep dark green lacquer, adorned with elegant gold foil engraved inscriptions, giving it a timeless vintage aesthetic.
  • Ergonomic Anti-Smudge Formula: The high-density core produces dark, crisp lines that don't easily smudge, also making it ideal for left-handed artists. The hexagonal shape significantly reduces wrist fatigue during long drawing sessions.
  • Premium Cedar Wood: Allows for clean, continuous, and needle-sharp sharpening, exuding the classic and relaxing aroma of natural wood while protecting the lead from impact.
A Legacy of Excellence: The History of Mitsubishi Pencil Company
Founded in Tokyo in 1887 by Niroku Masaki, the brand was born with a commitment to creating exceptional writing instruments.
In 1966, after decades of leadership in the stationery industry, the company reached its engineering peak with the launch of the Hi-Uni line, designed to be the most perfect wooden pencil in the world.
More than a century later, Uni Mitsubishi continues to blend traditional Japanese craftsmanship with cutting-edge technology, maintaining Hi-Uni as a global benchmark in fine arts.
