Chinkin Hawk Echizen Lacquered Fountain Pen
FREE SHIPPING
Grace and power meet under a moonlit sky. The Chinkin Hawk and Moon Echizen Lacquered Japanese Fountain Pen captures a dramatic moment — a hawk soaring through silver-lined clouds beneath the glow of a golden moon — rendered entirely by hand in the time-honored chinkin technique.
The pen begins with a carefully selected wooden barrel, chosen for its natural feel and perfect balance. It is then coated in multiple layers of Echizen urushi lacquer, a traditional Japanese finish known for its deep, mirror-like gloss and resilience.
Once the lacquer is complete, a skilled artisan begins the chinkin process — engraving the hawk, moon, and clouds into the lacquered surface with fine precision. These engraved lines are then filled with precious gold and silver powders, bringing a shimmering contrast between light and shadow.
The hawk, a symbol of strength and keen vision in Japanese culture, is brought to life by the hand of Sagiri Matsubara, a rising star in Japanese decorative arts. Her delicate yet powerful rendering turns this Japanese fountain pen into a dynamic piece of collectible art.
Whether writing or on display, the Chinkin Hawk and Moon offers not just a pen, but a statement — of tradition, mastery, and timeless beauty.
