Founded in 1937, Kitpas originally manufactured traditional chalks. They innovated by recycling scallop shells into their chalk production, improving quality and reducing environmental impact. Their chalks now dominate Japan's schools.
In 2005, Kitpas launched their versatile Art Crayons, renowned for vibrant colors and buttery smooth texture that can draw on various surfaces like paper, glass, and whiteboards. Enhanced with rice bran wax since 2021, these crayons are celebrated for their safety and quality.
Today, Kitpas is Japan's leader in eco-friendly art materials, loved for their creativity-inspiring products worldwide.
