To celebrate 1000 year “Tales of Genji” Sailor commissioned in 2008 Master Hiroshi Ito (°1930) to make a “Suprême Mikado” set of three magnificent pens crafted in the old and traditional Kyo-Maki-e way. Each limited to 8 pcs per pen and accompanied by a beautiful lacquered box. This “Kocho” is the very last pen worldwide that remains from the Suprême Mikado set. It carries number #8/8. The nib is a 21kt Nagahara King Eagle. The price for this last Maki-e pen is very attractive. http://www.sakurafountainpengallery.com/en/fpngallery/gallery-detail/suprême-mikado-quot-kocho-quot If you are interested : catherine@sakuragallery.com Have a nice day !
