Sailor Maki-e Horned Owl

The Sailor Maki-e Mimisuku (Horned) Owl combines three figurative elements, the owl, moon and a tree. This night scene uses the black base color of the pen to advantage.

The branches of the tree twist and fork in on both the cap and barrel. The cap branches as much smaller, suggesting a considerable distance above the barrel scene.

	Tiny pieces of gold flake are embedded in urushi resin. The size of the pieces create a variety of textures on the owl, branches, and the moon. Abalone flakes, which reflect light are set into the eyes, giving them a luminous quality. Note the artists signature to the left, also in gold.
The Great Horned Owl, known by its five syllable call mimicked in the phrase, "Who Cooks for you-hoo", is the most widely distributed owl in the Americas. For this reason even casual birders are familiar with this tufted predator. A sighting of the Horned Owl can be inspiring. This pen can hold something of the memory of that event.

The pen is the same size and has the same converter/cartridge filling mechanism as the 1911. It comes in a small softwood box with two extra cartridges and all the papers.

We have the full range of available Sailor 21K nibs including the EF, F, MF, M, B, Zoom and Music.
