Sailor Kurenai Limited Edition Fountain Pen
Nature has always provided us with some spectacular images and colors and the changing hues and shades especially at Sunset and Sunrise (dawn) have always inspired artistic impression.
Urushi Maki-e Artist – Wataru Kurotobi has taken unusually abstract views of both these events and has drawn inspiration from his study of the Forest at sunset and the Ocean at sunrise. In particular the variation of color and shade over the space of time has been captured by his artwork for this special Limited edition series created by Sailor.
!!!!Saya Nuri !!!!
The artist has used the traditional Urushi decoration technique known as Saya-Nuri or Kawari -Nuri. This technique is said to have its origins back in the fief system of the Edo period 1615-1868 when local craftsmen used a range of techniques to decorate the sword scabbards and make them noticeably different. With the abolition of the wearing of swords in public in 1876 this Urushi technique was applied to other small items.
The First in the series of unique designs is the ‘Kurenai’ – Forest Sunset
It is Sunset -‘Yuuyake’ and the tranquil forest displays a deep crimson red color (‘Kurenai’) This is the special time when the deep red light seeps through the dark green of the trees before night finally falls. The gradation of the yellow to Dark Green portrays the ever changing of colour in the forest with the gradual fading of the day at Sunset. The artist has created the specially coloured maki-e design to share the feeling of the passing moments in time as the light of sunset seeps through the trees.
A special 33 piece Limited edition maki-e Fountain pen. The King of Pens in ebonite with gold trim and nib has been chosen for this masterpiece.
