The Celestial Phoenix

The Celestial Phoenix by AP Limited Editions is a stunning Maki-e fountain pen celebrating the mythical Japanese Phoenix, a revered symbol of peace, renewal, and virtue. Crafted using the exquisite Togidashi Taka Maki-e technique, the pen showcases the phoenix with wings and tails richly textured in charcoal powder and layered with finely crushed mother-of-pearl. The eyes are meticulously formed with gold Itagane sheets and colored urushi lacquer, while palladium powder highlights feather details.

Complementing the phoenix are delicate paulownia blossoms rendered in silver and gold powder, peonies shaded with silver, palladium, and red urushi lacquer, and rocks raised with charcoal powder and adorned with Kirikane. The entire composition is set against a shimmering background of gold powder and deep purple urushi lacquer. Fitted with an 18K gold nib, The Celestial Phoenix embodies a harmonious blend of legendary myth and masterful craftsmanship, making every written word a tribute to timeless elegance.
