Sakura, formally known as Sakura Color Products Corporation, is a renowned Japanese stationery company founded in 1921. It is most famous for inventing Pigma ink in 1982, which was the world's first pigment-based ink, leading to the creation of the iconic Pigma Micron pen line frequently used by artists, architects, and calligraphers.

The brand is celebrated for its commitment to high-quality archival ink that is waterproof, fade-resistant, and chemically stable. While its primary manufacturing base remains in Japan to ensure precision and quality control, the brand has a vast global distribution network. It operates as a private entity headquartered in Osaka, continuing to innovate in the artistic and writing instrument sectors.
