Namiki Chinkin Fountain Pen in Cherry Blossoms – 18K Gold

Description

The Namiki Chinkin Collection collection is finely crafted by a select group of maki-e Kokkokai artists in Japan. The Chinkin Collection is made up of fountain pens which use Chinkin (Gold Inlay), one of lacquer ware techniquesthat Japan boasts to the world on a par with Maki-e. Motifs are carved into the lacquered surface with special chisels,and after inlaying lacquer in the grooves, placing gold leaves and gold powder gives the pattern expression.The delicate and fine depiction and three-dimensional aspect overflowing with a strong powerof expression are the special characteristics of this collection.Since Chinkin is a carving technique, there is no room for mistakes. Every single carve is a true challenge in the sense of the word.
