Dantrio Hakkaku with dragon Maki-e and a 18k #6 size stub nib full macro glory

Here I present the Dantrio Hakkaku with dragon Maki-e and a 18k #6 size stub nib. I don't know anything about this pen other than I bought it in 2017. I've never seen the design on another Danitrio pen. Danitrio does not offer any story or explanation of the artwork. I posted about this pen in the fountain pen review pages back in 2017 but since then I've gained the ability to take good photos so I'm sharing again. Let me know what you think. I could be tricking myself but the tamenuri seems to be changing in a most enjoyable way. The artwork on this pen is rather nice and involved and also makes good use of the space on the pen.

Beautiful!  I love the way the cap lines up with the barrel, too.

I was just thinking the same thing!

I would never own a pen like this (the urushi finish would be a problem for me -- and yes, I AM that allergic) but I can admire the artistry and workmanship (just from a safe distance).

Good eye, that is a nice touch. To be fair it depends a bit on temperature but it basically lines up.
