City of Light

City of Light is a collector’s masterpiece, crafted with extraordinary precision and refinement. Its surface gleams with an intricate mosaic of Raden and mother-of-pearl inlay, each fragment individually cut, polished, and set into the lacquer to capture a luminous brilliance. Gold accents weave through the composition, enhancing the radiance and giving depth to the design, so that the pen glimmers like a skyline touched by light. The artistry lies in its meticulous construction—layer upon layer of Urushi lacquer, polished to perfection, holding inlays that shift with every angle of view. The interplay of shell, gold, and lacquer creates a shimmering tapestry, evoking a city bathed in light, timeless and eternal. City of Light is both a work of Maki-e and a vision of modern elegance—where precision becomes poetry, and radiance is preserved forever in lacquer and gold.
