From TACCIA:
In honor of its 20th anniversary and Japan's Hinamatsuri festival which dates back over 1000 years to Heian period, TACCIA introduces the Miyabi Bon-Bori LE collection. The Hinamatsuri is a Shinto festival celebrated annually on March 3rd and it’s one of the five seasonal festivals in Japan. Hence, Bon-Bori collection's five distinct and balanced designs: Aurora Grimmer, Blue Daisies, Twilight Shimmer, Cherry Blossom, and Luna Prairie.
The Miyabi Bon-Bori LE collection is produced by a single Japanese artist and involves a long and elaborate process to bring these designs to life. Uncolored abalone shells are cut to appropriate shapes and the artist individually hand paints or foils them with gold or silver. Each piece of Raden is individually arranged and intricately applied to the pen’s body by the artist to create these sophisticated designs. After each additional layers of Urushi lacquer are applied and each pen is hand polished to a radiant and lustrous finish.
The five distinct designs in this collection demonstrate the mastery of TACCIA's artist with traditional and modern Maki-e techniques using Raden, gold and silver Nashiji, creating these colorful and harmonious impressions.
The Miyabi Bon-Bori LE collection salutes femininity and celebrates happiness, health, and prosperity with its joyful designs. Each pen is equipped with an exquisite 18K gold nib, combining unique and timeless ascetics with unparalleled performance, make sure to pick-up one or all the designs that appeal to you from TACCIA authorized retailers.
