Description: A superb interpretation of a traditional Japanese motif, executed in burnished togidashi and raised takamaki-e by Seiki Chida, with silver ripples mimicking the effects of light on water. The mixture of bright colors and muted elements gives a remarkable depth to the composition. The flat-topped, clipless cap emulates the Dunhill-Namiki style of the 1920s, while presenting a superior surface for the maki-e artist's craft. Eyedropper-filler pen with enlarged ink capacity. Medium18K two-tone gold nib, large #50 size, engraved with Mt. Fuji motif. Outer box (one joint split), wood display box, ink bottle, eyedropper in box, booklet, service guide, signed artist card, CD. No limitation stated but produced in small numbers.
