History


The company was initially founded as a crayons manufacturer in 1921. By 1924, Sakura invented the first-ever oil pastel that combined oil and pigment, which was patented globally as the "Cray-pas (クレパス)" trademark.


In 1982 the firm launched its famous "Pigma" marker pen lines.


In 1984 Sakura invented the first gel-based ink, featured in its new ballpoint pens lines. Gel ink pens are currently produced by many stationery companies.


The North-American division of the company, "Sakura Color Products of America, Inc." was established in Hayward, California in 1986. Other division of Sakura in Asia, "Shanghai Sakura International Trading Co., Ltd. (Chinese: 上海櫻花文化用品有限公司)" was established in Shanghai, China in 2002.

Artists


Sakura "Pigma" markers have been widely used by many comic book artists to ink their pages. Some of them are George Pérez and Ethan Van Sciver.[citation needed]



Cray-Pas Wonderful, Colorful World Contest


Sakura of America started the annual national art contest in the United States in 1996. The contest is open to all U.S. students grades K through 8 to create a picture that is drawn mostly with oil pastels, preferably Cray-Pas. The judging is done by separate grade categories: K-2, 3-5 and 6-8. Three winners in each category are medalists and 25 more students are awarded honorable mention.[3][4] There have been 17,000 submissions each year with winning entries displayed online and some have been published in printed material.[5]
