Mikado 174 is a yellow barrel hexagonal pencil

that features a red band around the ferrule.

The name Mikado was changed to Mirado during World War II,

as can be seen from Henry Petroski's Pencil.

“Japan`s bombing of Pearl Harbor immediately affected the war. On December 8, 1941,

Mikado Pencil changed its name to Mirado to wash away the Japanese atmosphere of its name."

Henry Petrowski's [Pencil] p.454
