About Namiki Nippon Art Tradition Fountain Pen - Chinese Phoenix
SPECIAL ORDER - PLEASE CONTACT US FOR AVAILABILITY & SHIPPING DATES
Namiki’s Nippon Art Collection depicts subjects that are closely linked with Japanese Culture such as toys, dragons, flower baskets, origami and more. These pens are rich with timeless symbols. Produced using the Hira Maki-e technique, the pattern is created using coloured Urushi and raw lacquer and then covered with silver and gold powder. After drying, several layers of Urushi are applied. Once these layers have hardened, the pen is polished to achieve a deep lustrous shine.
The Namiki Nippon Art Chinese Phoenix fountain pen pays homage to the special bird known to the Chinese as Feng Huang. The phoenix symbolises virtue, grace and prosperity but also represents the union of opposites, yin and yang, both male and female. Unlike the western phoenix, the Chinese phoenix is not born again from its ashes. It represents the light of the sun and the moon and is the bird of the southern sky. Its song is said to have been the basis of the five cardinal notes of Chinese melody and one of the four creatures that created the world.
The extraordinary No.10 14ct gold nib with the image of Mount Fuji completes each model and is available in Fine, Medium and Broad sizes.
Artisan: Kokkokai.
