They are mainly produced by Mizuta Tasogare and Kato Jado.
divided into 4 types - "Double spiral", "Chain", "Ring" and "Kikko" that may be called a honeycomb pencil. Others like "Six-fold spiral", "Extensible" and "Triangle, square, pentagon, hexagon" are considered to be variations based on one of those 4 types. "To take carving in the wood of a pencil", is certainly what pencil carving is all about. But we are required to be skilled enough for delicate woodwork in carving out a pattern like some kind of a tracery without making any miscut on the naked lead inside.
After we were successful in our pencil carving, one thing came up to us for a change in it. We had an innovation into a new technique deriving from the "Chained pncil" - to carve out two components imagined to be overlapped between the pencil surface and the lead. Though not so satisfactory, a later work called "Two-level crossing" became the first to realize that technique. And it was followed by such perfectly successful works as "Winter's big triangle" and "Twin double-spirals" which brought people overwhelming impressions. For the 11th "Hands Taisho" contest held anually in winter by Tokyu-Hands, we enterd our pencil carvings and won the "Planning Prize".
