With Sakura of America from day one

SAMPRO has worked with Sakura since the founding of Sakura of America in 1986. We introduced Pigma Micron, Gelly Roll and Koi watercolors to U.S. retailers in those early years.

Today Sakura is a world-class brand in American art and writing. We still represent Sakura to retailers across the Northeast.
