This luxurious writing instrument celebrates the elegance of nature through intricate artistry and bold design. The pen features a solitary sunbird, known for its graceful silhouette and vibrant red plumage. Its distinctive downturned beak, a hallmark of this nectar-loving bird, adds character and charm to the artwork.
Surrounding the sunbird is a cascade of shimmering maki-e leaves, meticulously applied using traditional Japanese lacquer techniques. The leaves catch the light beautifully, adding depth and movement to the design. The backdrop is a unique alternating striped pattern of light and dark green, creating a harmonious contrast that accentuates the vivid details of the sunbird and foliage.
About Danitrio Hyotan Fountain Pen Series:
The Hyotan in Japanese means "Gourd" or "Calabash", which is a fruit that can sometimes come in an hourglass shape. This series of pen does come in the hourglass shape; in the US, collectors of Danitrio pens have coined it the Mae West, one of the biggest Hollywood stars in the twentieth century known for her hourglass figure.
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.
