Wancher × Kuretake Maki-e fountain pen, made of black lacquered aluminum.

Item Description
This is a stunning Japanese fountain pen featuring traditional maki-e lacquerwork, depicting delicate Eda-zakura (branch cherry blossoms) crafted with exquisite gold and iridescent pigments. The pen body is finished in a black lacquer, beautifully complemented by soft pink and gold highlights. Crafted in collaboration between Kuretake and Wancher, this pen exemplifies modern maki-e artistry, blending centuries-old Japanese craftsmanship with contemporary elegance.

The body is remarkably thin, lightweight, yet strong—one of its main highlights. The nib is made of stainless steel and engraved with the signature Wancher flower emblem. This pen is presented in its original wooden box and includes a guarantee certificate.

Unique Objects

Occasionally, two different bidders may show up in the bidding history with the same bid amount. This occurs when one user's bid is exactly the same as an automatic (maximum) bid placed by another user earlier. Since the auto-bid was placed first, this takes preference. The bidding history will show both bids, with the auto-bid ranked as the higher of the two.


Double bid

It may appear that the same bid has been placed by two different bidders. This can occur if someone places a bid in another currency which is then rounded to the same amount as the previous bid in %{local_currency}.

This can occur for the following reasons:
<p>1. If an opening bid does not meet a lot’s reserve price (hidden minimum), buyers may try outbidding their earlier bid in order to find that lot’s RP.</p>
<p>2. If an auto-bid (user-set maximum bid) is outbid, the bidding log will show the first and final steps of that user's auto-bid in a row. The new highest bid will be shown at the top.</p>

Why is this bidder outbidding him- or herself?

Bids exclude the auction fee and shipping costs, which will be added during final payment. Any other costs or charges such as customs or import duties, customs clearance and handling may also apply during shipment of your lot and will be charged to you at a later stage if applicable.
