Pencil sharpener - Showa Retro Vintage

Item Description
Mitsubishi Pencil BOXY HS-10BX Manual Pencil Sharpener — Showa Retro Vintage Stationery (1970s–80s)
This is the iconic BOXY HS-10BX, a manual pencil sharpener produced by Mitsubishi Pencil Co., Ltd. during the height of its popularity in Japan from the 1970s to the 1980s. The BOXY series became a cultural phenomenon in Japanese stationery culture, beloved for its bold, no-nonsense design that perfectly captured the sleek, utilitarian aesthetic of the era.
The body is finished in a deep matte black with the distinctive "//BOXY" logo embossed on the side, complemented by polished chrome metal accents on the pencil-entry mechanism and hand crank. A transparent shaving receptacle at the front allows you to monitor shaving levels at a glance. The internal blade mechanism is characteristic of the high-quality craftsmanship Mitsubishi Pencil was renowned for.
No longer in production, this piece is a sought-after collector's item for vintage stationery enthusiasts, mid-century modern desk décor collectors, and anyone looking to add a touch of authentic Showa-era Japan to their workspace.
