Pensinasia - Fine Writing Instruments
Pensinasia is a collection of more than a decade of pens, fine writing instruments, and limited edition collectables. Over the past years, I have painstakingly detailed and photographed each pen I have owned, recording down every minute detail within this website. If you are a pen lover like me, you will find Pensinasia to be your definite source of knowledge to fountain pens.

Sailor Classic Maki-e Floating Fan Fountain Pen

 

A symbol of culture in Japan, this fan which is made from papaer and bamboo is used not only to create a cooling breeze rather the "canvas" for intensive design. This motif has been used here in conjunction with water as part of a story.The design represents the "Three Boats" ceremony, which takes place annually on the outskirts of Kyoto. The ceremony involves costumed Japanese ladies throwing fans into the stream and watching them float away, a scene that recalls the Emperor and his court on the Oi river during the Heian period (794-1185). It celebrates music, poetry and beautiful spectacle.
This specially commissioned pen is handcrafted in traditional Japanese maki-e by Mr. Kosen Oshita.
