Namiki Nippon Art Chinese Phoenix | ||
| In April 2008, this pen will be discontinued by Pilot-Namiki. | ||
 | ||
| This Phoenix, known to the Chinese
as Feng Huang, symbolizes virtue, grace and prosperity. The Phoenix represents
the union of opposites, yin and yang, both male and female. | ||
 | ||
| Unlike the western phoenix, the Chinese
phoenix is not born again from its ashes. It represents the light of the sun and
of the moon and is the bird of the southern sky. Its song is said to have been
the basis of the five cardinal notes of Chinese melody and one of the four creatures
that created the world (the other three being the dragon, the unicorn and the
tortoise). | ||
 |
 | |
| Notice the use of gold flake embedded
in resin that gives reflectiveness to the calligraphic signature, the feathers
and the clouds of the sky. | ||
 | Like other pens in the Nippon Art series pens this one comes with with the best converter on the market today, a beautifully built smooth 14K nib and a well proportioned soft wood presentation box. This fountain pen has an elegant simple shape, and a captivating design. It feels great in the hand. The retail price: $700.00 Our Price: $560.00 | |
