Crafted with the utmost precision, this pen showcases the splendor of the Japanese green pheasant in resplendent gold maki-e and vibrant urushi lacquer. Against a backdrop of deep satin black, their brilliance is elevated to new heights, while every feather and fold is meticulously rendered. The result is a work of art that captures the essence of the pheasant with unrivaled detail. The green pheasant, Japan's national bird and a native inhabitant of the Japanese archipelago, holds a profound cultural significance. In the Shinto religion, it is closely associated with Amaterasu, the ancient sun goddess. Legends in Japan tell us that the green pheasant serves as Amaterasu's trusted messenger, connecting this pen to a rich tapestry of mythology and tradition.
