HONGDIAN 1837 Maki-e — A Thousand Years of Art, Held in Your Hand
The HONGDIAN 1837 Maki-e is not merely a writing instrument — it is a collector’s object. Inspired by the classical Chinese artistic tradition of flora and fauna painting, the barrel is adorned with intricate birds and blossoms rendered through multi-layer ink printing, then finished with an 18K gold-plated body that elevates every detail into something luminous. This is the pen you display when it’s not in use, and treasure when it is.
Classical Chinese Maki-e Artistry
- Traditional flora & fauna motif — birds in bloom, drawn from centuries of Chinese ink painting heritage
- Multi-layer ink printing process — each color is applied in sequence, building depth, dimension, and richness that flat printing cannot achieve
- Vintage aesthetic with a refined, antique warmth — a design that rewards close inspection
- Every pen carries the spirit of classical Chinese decorative art
18K Gold-Plated Body
- Full 18K gold-plated barrel and cap — a warm, rich luster that complements the painted artwork
- Durable plating that resists tarnish and maintains its brilliance over time
- Substantial, premium feel in hand — the weight of a true collector’s pen
A Writing Experience to Match
- Smooth fountain pen nib engineered for consistent, expressive ink flow
- Compatible with standard international cartridges and converters
- Designed for both daily writing and display — a pen that performs as beautifully as it looks
