■ “Engraved Fountain Pen – Caricature of Birds and Beasts -“
A fountain pen commemorating the 140th anniversary of the birth of Kyugoro Sakata, the founder of Sailor fountain pens and the first purely domestic 14-karat gold nib produced in Japan. It is said to be the oldest manga in Japan, and animals that are said to convey intentions beyond human knowledge are enjoyed
The appearance of playing with sea urchins is a blessing, and the caricature of birds and beasts that are considered to be auspicious is adopted as a motif. “Caricatures of Birds and Beasts” is a national treasure that is housed in the World Heritage Site of Mt. Tsugao Kozanji Temple.
The engraving is the work of Katsura Morihito, an important intangible cultural property (human national treasure) “carving” holder who has received a very high reputation for his work on items purveyed by the Imperial Household Agency.
– Single-sided engraving
A technique in which a single-edged chisel is carved diagonally into the lid body, which is made of sterling silver, to carve a pattern with inflection.
The flowers and plants depicted in the caricatures of birds and beasts are expressed in a one-sided carving by Katsura Morihito.
