Maki-e Hagi-Bush Clover |
| I
frequently find that the more modest the subject matter of a Japanese Maki-e pen,
the more graphically interesting it becomes. |
| |
| The Hagi/Flowers, Bush Clover proves this rule. |
| |
| This simple motif animates this pen. The blades
of grass, leaves and fronds intertwine in an engaging composition. |
 |
Notice the many material surfaces, from simple fine gold
flake lines to coarse amber and shiny gold leaves to imbedded reflective squares
of abalone. Even the artist's signature at left conveys the exuberant expression
of this piece. | |
|
| |
 | 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.

"Dear Pat
and John, My pen was delivered yesterday, as scheduled. The design and workmanship
are impressive and this is a beautiful pen. Just as importantly the nib is exactly
what I was hoping it would be; it writes beautifully, and seems to be set up perfectly
for my personal style of writing. Thanks for your effort. It's a pleasure dealing
with someone who takes the time to do it right. Bill Leckemby" (4/13/06)
