Namiki Nippon Art Golden Pheasant

Symbols of prosperity in Japan, golden pheasants, or “kinkei”, were often the subjects of art during the Edo period, most prominently in prints by Utagawa Hiroshige (1797-1858) and Itō Jakuchū (1716-1800). These birds were also the inspiration for the Namiki Nippon Art Golden Pheasant fountain pen. Created by the artisan collective Kokokkai using the Hira Maki-e (flat maki-e) technique, it features two beautifully plummed birds on a polished black background amidst falling cherry blossom petals. It’s crowned by a 14-karat gold nib.
