This is the one of the Sailor master piece of Whole Body Sprinkled Gold Lacquer fountain pen. I am really lucky to get this rare collection. This famous makie is called Urushi Master Piece: Kyoto’s makie. My first expression of this maki-e was mind blowing. It has touched my heart by his the Whole Urushi makie.

 

In the Japanese culture, the chrysanthemum, simply it is called MUM which signifies a life of ease. Ancient KYOTO’S Buddhists are fond of using this flower as offerings on ALTERS. It also symbolizes a meaning of Welcome Home. In Spring Kyoto has become a city of Multicolor by blowing of different awesome mum flowers. Kyoto’s artiest has taken these different chrysanthemums on this makie design.

 

It also shows awesome meaning as follows:

 

 

As a personality type, the chrysanthemum indicates there are many layers to you, and just as soon as someone thinks they have you identified, you pop out with another blossom of surprises. You like clarity and honesty in all things.

 

In fact, when situations are murky or unhealthy you are the perfect sign to come in and clear the air or heal the situation. You are focused and tend to be serious in your emotions, but you are deeply intuitive and help others identify areas they need to work on for their own emotional growth. Moreover, You are active and amorous with no end to suitors. In this makie you find three types of mum, In the Victorian language of flowers it symbolizes some special meaning such as :

 

 

Yellow chrysanthemums meaning: gently declining amorous advances.

Red chrysanthemums mean: a proposition, invitation to ignite a new relationship

Golden White chrysanthemum: tell the truth, be honest, a request for udder candor

 

 

Chrysanthemums that are annuals: Reminders of the cycles of life, impermanence, and the value of seizing the present now. Dreaming of chrysanthemums indicates an unfolding of the inner self, during a tumultuous time of life. More specifically, it may represent a time of deep personal growth forged by hardship or conflict. The result leading to a stronger, more realized you.

 

 

 

 

 

KYOTO’s Maki-e: JAPANESE SPRINKLED GOLD LACQUER

 

Obviously most of them you have known about the Japanese MAKI-E right? In WESTERN WORLD Japanese Makie is familiar with JAPANESE SPRINKLED GOLD LACQUER.

 

 

 

But do you know where the origin of Maki-e is?

 

 

 

It is in the Old CAPITAL OF JAPAN which was KYOTO. It was revealed in EDO PERIOD, 400 years ago. Still GOLDEDN MAKIE is considered most precious art form in JAPAN. Especially KYOTO’s maki-e is world renowned and having precious artistic value in Japan as well as in all over the world. Moreover, these maki-e paintings articulate very significant power shifting movement in ancient Japan.

 

In the Edo Period (1600-1867), however, there were many maki'e masters in KYOTO. Like "painting masters" (artists), "Buddha masters" (sculptors), and others, maki'e masters were a type of professional artisan. These craftspeople made their living by decorating the implements used in daily life with beautiful maki'e designs. The Master piece of Japanese literature: Mazarin Chest (the Tale of Genji) and The Van Diemen Box is precious example of Kyoto’s makie. From that perspective, Sailor requested KYOTO’S makie artists to introduce large maki-e fountain pen in this year. As a result we got NEW LARGE EXPENSIVE KYOTO’S MAKIE.

 

 

 

Kyoto’s Lacquer Maki-e: At Ancient time the famous Kyoto Maki-e artisan’s began to decorate the lacquerware with gold and silver powder. This kind of decoration took advantage of another good quality of lacquerware, its stickiness! If artisans carved or inlaid designs into a piece of lacquerware and then sprinkled gold or silver powder onto the wet surface, these designs would ecome permanently affixed to the piece when it dried. They used three different kinds of 21Kt Gold to art this Maki-e . For example they have used 21kt Liquid GoldPest, 21kt Gold Dust and 21kt Gold with White Marble mixture by artists own hands (See different kinds of mums and leaves). This is an awesome of the art of Kyoto’s makie.
