Sakura (Sakura Color Products Corporation, 株式会社サクラクレパス) is a Japanese stationery and art-materials maker founded in Osaka in 1921, originally as a crayon manufacturer. In 1924 it created Cray-Pas, the first oil pastel to combine oil and pigment.

Sakura's defining contribution to pens came in 1982 with Pigma ink — a pigment-based ink whose particles were milled down to sub-micron size so they flow cleanly through even the narrowest nib, while staying waterproof, fade-resistant, acid-free and archival. That ink powers the Pigma Micron fineliner, a studio and lab standard for technical drawing, illustration, manga, journaling and record-keeping. In 1984 Sakura shipped the world's first gel-ink pen, the Gelly Roll.

Today the brand spans Pigma, Gelly Roll, Koi watercolours and the century-old Cray-Pas line, manufactured in Japan and distributed worldwide through Sakura of America (SF Bay Area, California) and Bruynzeel-Sakura in Europe.
