Sailor Bespoke King of Pen Fountain Pen - Hanafuda Edition - Ino-shika-cho
This exceptional release pays homage to Japanese artistry and tradition, and is available in two distinct versions, each with its own rich, evocative design inspired by classic Hanafuda themes.
Hanafuda is a traditional Japanese card game, where each card represents one of the twelve months with seasonal themes. Players compete by forming specific combinations, making it a game of strategy, symbolism, and elegance. These cards have long been a cherished part of Japanese culture, celebrated for their beautiful artwork and historical significance.
Each pen is created with Yubi maki-e underdrawings, hand-applied by skilled craftsmen, and is individually signed and numbered by the artist, Isana Kobayashi. This careful process makes every pen a true work of art, showcasing a fusion of modern and traditional maki-e techniques.
Ino-shika-cho – This version is adorned in a beautiful dark green body and dark cap. Intricate details inspired by the “Boar, Deer, and Butterfly” cards in the Hanafuda game are seen all around the pen.
