The works posted below had been created between the years 1987 & 1997 by Mizuta Tasogare & Kato Jado . The Artistés Karnival is sorry that it could not procure the Profile Pictures of the Artists . It’s quite disappointing that not a single picture of them exists anywhere on the internet , not much about their Professional & Personal lives either . From what they have to say about their works , they seem to be Japanese .
Mizuta Tasogare & Kato Jado –
“ To make carving in the wood of a pencil is certainly what pencil carving is all about. 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 , a new technique deriving from the’Chained pencil’ - to carve out two components imagined to be overlapping 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’s overwhelming expressions. For the 11th ‘Hands Taisho’ contest held annually in winter by ‘Tokyu-Hands’, we entered our Pencil Carvings and won the Planning Prize ”.
