This is Yamaotoko from Matsumoto City.
 
 
 
In this article, I will introduce a fountain pen adorned with Mount Fuji in maki-e lacquer art.
 
 
 
Mount Fuji is a symbol of Japan.
 
 
 
 
Whether to climb, admire, or hold in your hand—Mount Fuji is always inspiring.
 
 
 
 
The Mount Fuji landscapes depicted in maki-e give the fountain pen depth, weight, and quiet strength.
 
 
They also bring special value to the time you spend writing.
 
 
With a trusted nib made by a Japanese manufacturer, the writing experience is of the highest quality.
 
 
Just placing it on your desk sharpens your focus, and every use lets you feel the depth of Japanese culture.
 
 
Also, Mount Fuji’s fan-like shape and the phonetic link between “Fuji” and “immortality” make it a lucky charm symbolizing prosperity, longevity, and good health.
 
 
It is a lifelong writing instrument that combines Japanese beauty and functionality.
 
 
This is a perfect choice for those who are looking for a lifelong pen, want to give a uniquely Japanese gift, or wish to keep a piece of Fuji art close at hand.
 
 
Mount Fuji was registered as a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site in 2013.
 
 
It was listed as “Fujisan, sacred place and source of artistic inspiration” by the UNESCO World Heritage Committee.
 
 
This blog post focuses on the “source of artistic inspiration” aspect by introducing fountain pens adorned with Mount Fuji in the maki-e technique.
 
 
Mount Fuji is not only Japan’s treasure, but also the world’s treasure.
 
 
You may want to choose your favorite fountain pen without regard to budget.
 
 
Please note that Yamaotoko of Matsumoto does not have any expert knowledge or skills in maki-e appreciation or authentication.
 
 
The pens introduced here are selected based on a personal sense developed through many climbs of Mount Fuji and viewing it from various other mountains.
 
 
 
Now, let me introduce fountain pens adorned with Mount Fuji in maki-e.
