Nahvalur Ikkaku Limited Edition: Pan-Long Fountain Pen
Nahvalur Ikkaku Limited Edition: Pan-Long Fountain Pen
In the venerable tapestry of Chinese tradition, the dragon stands as the quintessential emblem of auspicious fortune, simultaneously symbolizing the imperial majesty and the quintessence of power. Thus, the visage of the dragon, as a totemic figure, has since time immemorial been extensively adopted in a myriad of decorative motifs.
This newest piece from IKKAKU by Nahvalur depicts the creature in a sinuous embrace, coiling around the pen, its draconic head craning towards the heavens in a gesture of dignified solemnity. Encircled by flames and precious orbs nestled amongst its scales, the dragon is ensconced in an aura of majesty. Surrounding the golden dragon from below ascend waves and auspicious clouds, with its fore-claws treading the waves and its hind claws parting the clouds, symbolizing a harbinger of propitious fortune and good luck.
In celebration of the Year of the Dragon, the piece leverages the sacred imagery of the dragon soaring through clouds and mist, commanding the wind and summoning the rain, to convey a felicitous outlook and blessings for the Year of the Dragon.
The piece, taking the dragon as its central motif, is composed through a meticulous arrangement of dots and lines, portraying the dragon's body in a serpentine coil, akin to a dragon spiraling upwards.
The dragon's head turns skyward, exuding an aura of august solemnity. Flames and precious orbs are interspersed along its form, with the golden dragon encircled from below by rising waves and auspicious clouds. Its foreclaws stride upon the waves, while its hind claws sift through the clouds, embodying symbols of auspiciousness and good fortune.
In celebration of the Year of the Dragon, the work seeks to harness the sacred imagery of the dragon soaring amidst clouds and mist, invoking the wind and summoning the rain, to articulate a hopeful vision and blessings for the auspicious Year of the Dragon.
"Ikkaku" is the Japanese word for narwhal and the mark of luxury expressed in urushi and raden. IKKAKU by Nahvalur is yet another testament to Nahvalur’s unwavering dedication to luxury writing instruments with high craftsmanship and artistry
