The Platinum Maki-e pen collection uses real gold powder when lacquering their Maki-e pens. Maki-e is a traditional Japanese lacquer art where a makizutsu or a kebo brush is used to decorate a pen body with Urushi lacquer. Each pen displays a hand painted traditional Japanese motif that has gold dusted accents. The pen’s artwork is slightly raised from its surface, enhancing the depth and texture. The Platinum Maki-e Brush pen is perfect for calligraphers, artists, painters and other creative types who want to add some flair and style to their writing, artwork or drawings. This well-balanced brush pen has a body and cap constructed from Black Aluminum with a gorgeous Black Lacquer finish and Gold-plated trim. The Platinum Maki-e brush pen features stunning hand painted Cranes flying over a Sunrise. Cranes are often used to depict an elegant and noble presence and allude to long life and prosperity in many Asian cultures. The Platinum Crane & Sunrise brush pen has a synthetic polyester brush tip with hair-like bristles that lets you create thick or thinner strokes as you vary the pressure.
