About Namiki Emperor Chinkin Fountain Pen - Peony
SPECIAL ORDER - PLEASE CONTACT US FOR AVAILABILITY & SHIPPING DATES
The Emperor Chinkin Collection is made up of fountain pens which use the Chinkin Gold Inlay method, a lacquer-ware technique that Japan boasts to the world on a par with Maki-e. Motifs are carved into the lacquered surface with special chisels, and after inlaying lacquer in the grooves, placing gold leaves and gold powder gives the pattern expression. The delicate and fine depiction and three-dimensional aspect overflowing with a strong power of expression are the special characteristics of this collection. Since Chinkin is a carving technique, there is no room for mistakes meaning every single carve is a true challenge for the artist!
The peony is considered in Japan as the queen of flowers and has delicate petals, rich in colour and with a subtle fragrance.
First imported from China around 700, the peony was prized for its medicinal virtues and soon acquired grace and finesse throughout Japan. It is appreciated for its beauty as well as its numerous and various symbolic virtues. According to legend it was the only flower to resist Empress Wu Zetian's injunction to bloom in winter and thus represents independence. In China it is the emblem of abundance and social success but also embodies love.
