The phoenix is a symbol of immortality, good luck, and peace. In Japan, they are called hōō, and they have been part of the culture for centuries. This pen accentuates the beauty of the phoenix tail feathers, and each eyespot is adorned with raden (mother-of-pearl). Golden maki-e is used to outline the phoenix and give her character dimension. Each detail is carefully painted to create a dynamic and powerful image.

About Danitrio Takumi Fountain Pen Series:

The Takumi is Danitrio series pen that is cigar-shaped. Takumi means "good design or craft" in Japanese.

Nib Details:

This pen is furnished with an 18k Gold, two-toned #6 nib. What has been described by many Danitrio collectors as the fireball nib is an image of “Kaen-Kohai” which is a flame-shaped halo of “Fudo Myoo” (Acala, the God of Fire). This halo is commonly painted on the back of Japanese Buddhist statues.  

An UrushiPen.com representative will contact you to confirm nib tip size preference (fine, medium, broad, or stub) following the placement of the order.
