Tombow has been making stationery in Tokyo since 1913 — the name means dragonfly in Japanese, a traditional symbol of strength and forward movement. Today the brand is best known globally for two things: the ABT Dual Brush Pen, a water-based flexible brush marker that blends like watercolor across a 108-color range, and the MONO eraser series, including the ultra-precise MONO Zero with its 2.3mm tip for fine highlight work and detail corrections.

The range also covers the Fudenosuke brush pen for small-scale lettering and manga linework, MONO 100 graphite pencils favored by animators and drafters, the MONO Graph shaker mechanical pencil, correction tape, and craft adhesives — a complete toolkit for lettering artists, illustrators, journalers, and technical drawers.
