The Yukari Collection vividly expresses the nature of the four seasons, which the Japanese have been familiar with since ancient times,
by combining designs with various techniques such as Togidashi-Taka Maki-e (Burnished-Raised Maki-e) and Raden (Mother-of-Pearl).
While being a size that can be carried and used every day, it harbors Japanese beauty down to the finest detail.
"The White Tiger waits / With an air of unconcern / Rules his wild domain."
In Asia the white tiger has long been a symbol of strength, power and otherworldly grace. Its likeness was painted on sanctuary walls to dispel evil spirits. Its image graced the shields of soldiers going to battle, the entrances to important structures, and the prows of the Emperor's mightiest ships. It was said that the white tiger would only appear when the Emperor ruled with absolute virtue, and peace would reign throughout the world.
The Namiki White Tiger was made in 1996 for the USA market. Maki-e artisan, Kyusai Yoshida was tasked to make this 300 pieces of limited edition to captivate the hearts of the pen collector market.
This magnificent pen depicts a crouching white tiger against bright red bamboo. Carefully handcrafted by
KYUSAI YOSHIDA
in powdered gold and vibrant colors, using a combination of
togidashi
and
hiramaki-e
techniques, its creation required 3 months. The results of this painstaking artistry are evident in every detail. One of Namiki's finest modern pens. Medium (M) 18K gold nib. Includes
walnut wood collector box and matching Certificate of Authenticity. Unfortunately, the limited edition White Tiger ink bottle is NOT included.
