Description from the seller
Wancher × Kuretake Maki-e fountain pen, made of black lacquered aluminum.
Item Description
This exquisite Japanese fountain pen features traditional maki-e lacquerwork, depicting graceful Shidare-Sakura (weeping cherry blossoms) cascading elegantly across the surface. Rendered in refined gold and iridescent pigments, the flowing floral design is beautifully set against a deep black lacquer body, creating a sense of movement and depth. Crafted through a collaboration between Kuretake and Wancher, this pen exemplifies contemporary maki-e artistry, blending centuries-old Japanese craftsmanship with modern sophistication.
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.
