The Nippon Art Collection draws inspiration from traditional Japanese and lucky motifs known worldwide, such as "Mount Fuji," "Hagoita (wooden hanetsuki paddle)," and "Origami," depicted on a black lacquered background using the Hira Maki-e technique.

The glossy black lacquer, combined with the vibrancy emerging from each piece, creates an impressive visual effect.

The Hira Maki-e technique, dating back to the late Heian period (794–1185), preceded the togidashi maki-e technique, in which the surface is covered with transparent lacquer after applying metal powder and then polished to reveal the design.

The Maki-e pens utilize the traditional Japanese lacquer art, offering exquisite designs that authentically condense Japanese aesthetics.

Japanese lacquer is an exceptional varnish used in Japan since ancient times. It is distinguished by its durability and long-lasting quality, harmoniously adapts to the hand, maintaining its timeless beauty.
