AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Item Description:
This is a stunning, handcrafted fountain pen based on the Shikisai Black Barrel Medium Size model, elaborately customized in a traditional Japanese maki-e style. The pen features a luxurious lacquered black barrel adorned with brilliant gold dust and a magnificent Azure Dragon ("Seiryuu") motif, evoking strength, beauty, and cultural heritage.
The body is crafted from glossy resin, with a smooth but subtly raised texture due to layered lacquer work, creating a tactile and visual depth that enhances the writing experience.
Equipped with a German JOWO #6 stainless steel nib (size F - fine), the pen offers excellent smoothness and control, making it suitable for both everyday writing and signature use. It supports both cartridge and converter systems (European standard, 2.4 mm), and comes with a built-in converter and one cartridge, ready to write out of the box.
The balance and medium size design ensure comfortable writing even without posting the cap. A perfect fusion of traditional Japanese aesthetics and modern writing performance.
