Brand: Mitsubishi Pencil Co.
Made in: Japan
This Mitsubishi red/blue colored pencil is unusual. Found out that the writing on the back refers to “Tokyo To”, which is “Tokyo Prefecture” or they prefer to call themselves “Tokyo Metropolitan Government.” Made for employees.
Founded in 1887 and formerly known as Masaki Yomato, Mitsubishi Pencil Co., Ltd. is best-known today for its “uni” brand of quality writing instruments sold worldwide. Curiously, this Tokyo-based business is unrelated to Mitsubishi Motors and other brands within the Mitsubishi Group. Same name, same logo, completely different company.
