he Chinese phoenix known as the Fenghuang is different from the mystical creature reborn from the ashes that many have been introduced to. It’s believed to have existed since the creation of the world, and has also been linked to the Confucian principles of virtue, righteousness, propriety, trustworthiness, and benevolence. A sign of good fortune, it has depicted the office of the empress for many generations and is usually seen alongside the dragon, which is the emperor’s symbol. 

This mystical creature is featured on the Namiki Nippon Art Chinese Phoenix fountain pen created by the artist collective Kokkokai. This gorgeous interpretation features hira maki-e (flat maki-e) and a beautiful blend of gold and red, making the phoenix stand out against the lacquered black background.
