A Heritage of Maki-e Pens: The Briggs Collection - The Best Book On Japanese Maki-e Pen
The Ultimate Book On Japanese Maki-e Pen
The Briggs Collection - A Heritage Of Maki-e Pens
Collecting Japanese maki-e pen is like a sharp J-curve learning experience. Starting with appreciating the simple form of Japanese lacquer works on pens, the motifs that were used on the pens and eventually, learning the intricacies of the fine art of Japanese lacquering.
In this special Book On Japanese Maki-e Pen, A Heritage of Maki-e Pens, published by The Briggs Collection, it shows the deep love and appreciation on this highly sought after Art of Japanese Maki-e on Namiki pens, Dunhill Namiki Pens and many more vintage Pilot pens.
It is a rewarding journey for the collector, Mr. G Briggs, who had collected contemporary and extremely rare vintage Namiki and Pilot pens over the last two decades.
In this book, many never seen before Japanese maki-e pens were featured in high resolution, magnified and presented in the best angle to show to new and seasoned Namiki pen collectors, the intricacies and the fine art of this ancient art form of Japanese maki-e.
Over the years, as vintage Namiki pens and Dunhill Namiki pens get more scare, the value of good Japanese maki-e pens are also shooting through the roof. Maki-e pens made by masters of Namiki kan or Kokokai , like Gonroku Matsuda (extremely rare), Shogo (the best and nicest pens made by this artist in my opinion) , Ippa and Kyusai Yoshida are harder to source over the years.
In this book on Japanese Maki-e pen, you can see some maki-e pens that were made as prototypes or were made specially for specific persons but were never made public to the pen world. This is highly possible given the close relationship of Pilot Japan with many of its business associates in the domestic market.
Of course, you will also find the special edition pens, Pilot Seki Shun, that were specially made by Pilot Japan to commorate Elephant & Coral's 9th Anniversary. It seems that Pilot has never before make a special edition for any foreign company except Elephant & Coral...
It took the publisher many hours of research and coordination to publish this very comprehensive Book On Japanese Maki-e Pen.
