Product Description:
A graceful long-tailed fowl moves across the pen barrel in warm gold tones, its sweeping tail creating a sense of motion and elegance. Fine accents of green and gold foliage add contrast and rhythm, giving the design a natural, balanced harmony. The angular Sho-Hakkaku form enhances the visual drama, allowing the artwork to reveal itself differently from every angle. Finished with polished gold details, the pen presents a bold yet refined aesthetic that feels both powerful and sophisticated.
About Danitrio Sho-Hakkaku Fountain Pen Series:
The Sho-Hakkaku is a Danitrio series pen that is octagonal-shaped. Danitrio wanted to create a shorter version of the Hakkaku. Hakkaku means "discovery" 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.
