Namiki Emperor Birds in Flight Fountain Pen - (Nib Size #50)

An outstanding pen of impressive size and appearance, decorated in maki-e with raden highlights.

This style of Maki-e dates to the 7th century. The spreading of gold dust on a precise area and to a desired density is a skill which requires great expertise and experience. The birds in flight lacquer pen is traditional and gorgeous lacquer work arranged with the kisshou (happiness) design on the surface coated with nashiji.
