The Gold Octopus

The Gold Octopus, by AP Limited Editions is crafted in the Taka Maki-e technique with a deep, lustrous Tsuya-age finish. The majestic octopus, rendered in raised gold Maki-e, emerges with breathtaking detail, its sinuous tentacles flowing across the pen’s surface in shimmering gold powder. Layers of urushi lacquer are meticulously polished to achieve a rich, mirror-like sheen, enhancing the depth and contrast of the design. Accents of delicate shell inlays and fine gold dust bring an added touch of mystery and movement, evoking the graceful, fluid nature of this enigmatic sea creature.
