Adorning the pen is a delicate depiction of the morning glory, a flower cherished in Japanese culture for its fleeting beauty and profound symbolism. The morning glory’s five-lobed, rounded blossoms evoke the ephemeral nature of life, a sentiment echoed in the reflective verses of the Hyakunin Isshu. With its intricate, sand dollar-like design and flowing vines, the maki-e artwork captures the grace and sophistication of traditional Japanese aesthetics.

Nib Details:
This pen is furnished with an 18k Gold, two-toned #6 nib. What has been described by many Danitrio collectors as the fireball nib is an image of “Kaen-Kohai” which is a flame-shaped halo of “Fudo Myoo” (Acala, the God of Fire). This halo is commonly painted on the back of Japanese Buddhist statues.
An UrushiPen.com representative will contact you to confirm nib tip size preference (fine, medium, broad, or stub) following the placement of the order.
