Essenza Maki-e and Raden - #8 Gold nib
A truly amazing pen, starting from an Essenza model without metal parts, gold nib #8 assembled on japanese ebonite red feed. The pen is produced entirely with the manual lathe using Japanese ebonite.
Shishiai-togidashi-maki-e shark&octopus, Raden, gold powder, silver powder.
In this technique, the design is painted in lacquer, and gold or silver powder is sprinkled over it; when the lacquer is dry, another coat is applied to the design to fix the powder.
The earliest extant example of togidashi maki-e is found on the scabbard of a Chinese T’ang-style sword of the Nara period (645–794), owned by the Shōsō-in in Nara. In the Heian period (794–1185), togidashi maki-e lacquer ware flourished. From the Muromachi period (1338–1573), the technique was combined with high relief (takamaki-e), and the ware was called shishiai togidashi maki-e.
The finish product is stunning, the decoration was done and signed by French Artist Morgan Wisser.
Available only on the official Leonardo website.
