TACCIA Miyabi Empress Urushi Fountain Pen - Winter Breath (Limited Edition)
“Rankaku” refers to a Japanese maki-e technique of inlaying eggshell pieces in urushi lacquer to create beautiful designs and patterns. First, craftsmen cut the eggshells into suitably sized pieces, then place the fragments onto the pen barrel piece by piece. Because of the eggshell's natural fragility, such handiwork requires an experienced and delicate touch.
“Winter Breath” uses two hand-laid Maki-e techniques: Raden (mother-of-pearl inlay) and Rankaku. Each pen takes months to produce.
“Winter Breath” has two versions:
1. Miyabi Empress (Limited to 288 pieces): Empress has a Sailor-made 18K-gold “King of Pen” nib, produced exclusively for TACCIA.
2. Miyabi (Limited to 88 pieces): It comes with a Sailor-made 18K-gold “1911L” nib, produced exclusively for TACCIA.
The pen is packaged in an exquisite wooden box and comes with a Japanese Kimono pen wrap along with a bottle of TACCIA Ukiyo-e ink (40ml).
Compatible Inks: Bottled Inks / Proprietary Sailor Ink Cartridge
Packaged with: Pen Case, Converter, Single Kimono Pen Wrap, Ukiyo-e ink (40ml)
