Description: WANCHAI X KURETAKE Monogatari Kindai Maki-e Fountain Pen, aka Geisha in Kimono This is a very beautiful Japanese fountain pen designed by KURETAKE, with the image of a Geisha in a Kimono printed and bonded onto the barrel using a special technique known as "Kindai Maki-e", which is quite similar to silk-screening. Various materials are used to create the images, including the famous Kanazawa gold foil. The ultra slim and light-weighted cap and barrel of the pen are made from one piece of aluminum/brass using the Japanese traditional "Monogatari" technique. The process involves skill and time. KURETAKE aims to bring the traditional maki-e and fountain pens to the general Japanese public at a very affordable price while at the same time helps to preserve the traditional art and skill of the Japanese craftsman. The result: a delicate looking but beautiful maki-e pen by KURATAKE, which is not only a good writing instrument but possible an inexpensive collectible item.Look at the printed image, one will be impressed by how complicated and delicate the art works are by the Japanese craftsmen as well as the beautiful vibrant colors used. This is really a piece of art.
