Fuji, is an enduring and revered symbol of Japanese culture. Its majestic, picturesque beauty has captivated so many people both within Japan, and around the world. Mt.

It is said that fish that have braved death from exhaustion swimming up river become dragons. The verticality of the design gives great power to the scene in which a relentless struggle between the fish and the waterfall unfolds. This bronze and copper coloured Emperor has literally conquered the small world of collectors who, already in possession of several goldfish, rushed to stores to catch this carp”. The Carp on Waterfall design displays the beauty of multi-colored abalone shells in Raden lacquering style. The abalone is delicately set in multiple layers of lacquer in order to create an overall feeling of depth and dimension. This pen employs an eyedropper filling system. It is fitted with a size 50 18kt gold Medium (M) nib imprinted with Mt.

The name is associated with the sound of wolves howling through the stillness of winter. Wolves surviving the harsh season together as a pack have long represented strong bonds and unity, while a young wolf eventually leaving its pack has also come to symbolize independence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe design captures that contrast through a solitary white wolf standing beneath a brilliant winter moon. The wolf is rendered in silver powder and layers of white, light blue, and bluish-purple lacquer. Its eye is accented with Raden, or mother-of-pearl, creating a sharp point of light against the otherwise quiet, monochromatic landscape.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWolf Moon is especially significant for its use of Chinkin, one of Japan’s most demanding traditional lacquer techniques. Chinkin is a traditional lacquer technique in which the design is carefully carved directly into the hardened lacquer surface. The carved lines and details are then filled with precious metal powder, creating remarkable depth and intricate detail. Precious metal powder or leaf is then worked into the carved areas to reveal the image. Because each mark is cut into the lacquer itself, the carving requires extraordinary control and leaves virtually no room for \u003cbr\u003eerror.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor Wolf Moon, Chinkin is brought together with several of Namiki’s other celebrated decorative techniques to create depth throughout the winter scene. The wolf, cliff, trees, and delicate plants are expressed through Hira Maki-e, while Togidashi Maki-e is used throughout the starry sky and background to create the atmosphere of a cold winter night. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRaden adds flashes of light to the composition, most notably in the wolf’s eye and in the background of the trees, while silver powder carries across the pen to connect the moon, landscape, and sky. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe restrained palette is an important part of the design. Rather than relying on vivid color, Wolf Moon is built around silver, black, white, and cool-toned lacquer. The result is a landscape that feels almost illuminated by moonlight, with the white wolf emerging as the focal point of the scene.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe\u003cstrong\u003e Namiki Chinkin Wolf Moon\u003c\/strong\u003e is created by the renowned Kokkokai artisan group.
