This fountain pen is made with "Kirigane," a technique using real gold leaf.
◆Whta is Kirikane?
Kirikane was introduced to Japan in the 6th century through Buddhism.
It is a traditional Japanese technique using gold, silver or platinum leaf, which is then cut into thin strips and applied as patterns using a brush and special glue(Nikawa)
It was developed as a technique for Buddhist art decoration (statues and paintings), and it is now used in Japan, mainly in Kyoto to decorate special art and craft materials.
◆Enami (sea wave)
Like hemp leaf, this pattern has been used to decorate Buddhist statues since ancient times.
It is a pattern that depicts the blessings of the vast oceans, and the waves spreading out endlessly are a good omen for future happiness and a peaceful life.
