The bamboo penetrates the earth and
grows upright into the sky with great force and flexibility. The bamboo gives us
the feeling of great dignity and beauty. The thoughts of the tall bamboo groves
swaying gracefully in the wind take us to another place of peace and
tranquility.
The Asian bamboo culture has been strong since
ancient times and it has profound cultural significance especially in Japan
where bamboo is the source of beauty, strength, morality and dignity. Many
traditional Japanese Waka (songs) and Haiku (poems) are dedicated to this
extraordinary plant.
The Sailor ‘King of Pens’ model is a perfect choice for Mr. Wataru Kurotobe (the Kyou Urushi artist) to craft his “CHIKU-RIN" masterpiece. Using the traditional special Urushi lacquer techniques of “Mijimgai-togi” & ”Kanshitsuko-toji” combined with “Aogai” - the distinctive colours of Urushi lacquer come together to create the “CHIKU-RIN” to portray the peace and tranquility within the bamboo groves.
A perfect accompaniment to the Chiku Rin Pilot Iroshizuku Ink -
