We report inclusive and exclusive measurements for $chi_{c1}$ and $chi_{c2}$ production in $B$ decays. We measure $mathcal{B}(B to chi_{c1} X)$= $(3.03 pm 0.05(mbox{stat}) pm 0.24(mbox{syst})) times 10^{-3}$ and $mathcal{B}(B to chi_{c2} X)$= $(0.70 pm 0.06(mbox{stat}) pm 0.10(mbox{syst})) times 10^{-3}$. For the first time, $chi_{c2}$ production in exclusive $B$ decays in the modes $B^0 to chi_{c2}pi^- K^+$ and $B^+ to chi_{c2} pi^+ pi^- K^+$ has been observed, along with first evidence for the $B^+ to chi_{c2} pi^+ K_S^0$ decay mode. For $chi_{c1}$ production, we report the first observation in the $B^+ to chi_{c1} pi^+ pi^- K^+$, $B^0 to chi_{c1} pi^+ pi^- K_S^0$ and $B^0 to chi_{c1} pi^0 pi^- K^+$ decay modes. Using these decay modes, we observe a difference in the production mechanism of $chi_{c2}$ in comparison to $chi_{c1}$ in $B$ decays. In addition, we report searches for $X(3872)$ and $chi_{c1}(2P)$ in the $B^+ to (chi_{c1} pi^+ pi^-) K^+$ decay mode. The reported results use $772 times 10^{6}$ $Boverline{B}$ events collected at the $Upsilon(4S)$ resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB asymmetric-energy $e^+e^-$ collider.
