What does the Japanese word “Shalaku” mean?
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.

Shalaku is just (part of) a product name. In Japanese, it's シャ楽. Here's the official site of a successor product. Etymologically, this product name is probably a parody of Sharaku, an ukiyo-e designer, whose kanji (写楽) literally means "drawing/picture" (写) and "enjoyment/ease" (楽).

It may be too obvious for folks on this site but also note that mechanical pencil is called シャープペンシル or シャーペン in Japan.
