I bought this pencil from Uniball which is a Japanese made. It is a beautiful
product. The name of the pencil is Shalaku. I wish to know what it
means.![enter image description here](https://i.stack.imgur.com/FGowB.jpg)

What does the Japanese word "Shalaku" mean?
Shalaku is just (part of) a product name. In Japanese, it's シャ楽. Here's the
[official
site](https://www.mpuni.co.jp/products/mechanical_pencils/sharp_pen/very_raku/sharaku/m5_100.html)
of a successor product. Etymologically, this product name is probably a parody
of [Sharaku](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sharaku), an ukiyo-e designer,
whose kanji (写楽) literally means "drawing/picture" (写) and "enjoyment/ease"
(楽).
