Oh, these are quite impressive.....when was the last time you've seen a black uni .... in 7B?!! Once upon a time these were made exclusively for the Society for Penmanship Education in Wakayama Prefecture. Read more about vintage Japanese pencils on the BNP blog.  NOTE:  No JIS mark!

“For the use in pen copying”
but it needs explanation of background.
The government issues official certificates to
people who pass official exams in which they are required to
hand-copy a printed material either by brush (of calligraphy) or

This pencil says it fits the use in the exam of the latter.

About Mitsubishi Pencil Co.

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.
