Crayons of the Mountain
A crayon made from the color of the earth reflected in a satellite photograph taken from space. Colors were extracted from 12 real "mountains" around the world. We want to convey the richness of the “colors” of the earth to as many children as possible. The crayons produced by the Satellite Crayon Project have such thoughts.
The colors of mountains change from moment to moment depending on their history and the seasons. In order to express the changing colors, each crayon has a number representing the month from which the color was extracted. For example, the number of the crayon extracted from the Shirakami Mountains, which changes color over an area of about 1,300 square kilometers in summer, autumn, and winter, is number 11. It indicates that the satellite image was taken in November, when autumn is also deep.
This product puts the "safety" of small children first, so that it is safe to put it in your mouth, including beeswax, animal and vegetable oils, and pigments that comply with the European Toy Safety Plan (EN71 Part3 2013). We use carefully selected natural materials. If you read the QR code on the back of the inner lid of the package, you will be connected to a website where you can learn a little about the reason for the color of the mountain, the location, the mysteries of the earth, and environmental issues. There is also an audio commentary so that even small children who cannot read can hear it. (Audio Commentary: Hamada Gaku)
