Additional information:
- The Nippon Art fountain pen depicts the sudden burst of a pair of pheasants taking off. The background is filled with heart-shaped particles lifted by the beating of wings. The male pheasant rises to meet the female at the top. The two birds always align their beaks when the cap is screwed onto the body. Crafted by “Kokkokai,” a group of Maki-e artisans formed in 1931 around Gonroku Matsuda, this piece is made using the Hira Maki-e technique, where the lacquered main design is adorned with sprinkled gold and silver powders. Several additional layers of lacquer are applied, and once hardened, it is polished.
