Sailor Wood Maki-e
Mandarin Duck
The Sailor Mandarin Duck is a more colorful and
intensely figurative theme than either the Grape or the Plum.
The male and female duck are clearly depicted on the wooden body
of this pen.
The water scene is completed with reeds and stylized
ripples on the cap and more ripples on the barrel.
A detail of the two Mandarin ducks is seen to the left. Note
the inlaid (raden) piece of abalone for the male's eye.
The ducks and the area surrounding them illustrate a variety
of texture, as seen below. Smooth gold surfaces, raised surfaces
and bits of gold are inlaid into the lacquer resin (urushi).
The artist's signature seen below the reflective shimmer
of gold bits to the left appears to be the same artist
who executed the Plum and Grape, two of our other favorites.
The 18K Sailor nib is smooth and of the highest quality.
It is available from us in fine, medium and broad.
This pen comes in a softwood presentation box lined
with midnight blue velvet. The standard high quality Sailor converter
and two cartridges are included. We have the complete line of
Sailor cartridge ink for those on the go.
This is a higher level of maki-e than that seen on the resin 1911
pen.
