The Namiki Nippon Art Crane and Turtle fountain pen depicts a flying crane and an upward-looking turtle. In Japan, the crane and turtle symbolize good fortune and longevity. An old Japanese saying proclaims, "Like the crane for a thousand years, the turtle for ten thousand years." This fountain pen pays homage to these symbols of a long and prosperous life. The piece features the Hira Maki-e technique, where the main lacquered design is adorned with sprinkled gold and silver powders. Several additional layers of lacquer are then applied, and once the lacquer has hardened, it is polished.
The pens I bought are of an excellent standard. Not only beautifully crafted but also a pleasure to scribe with. I can only recommend them highly to all that are interested in purchasing one....or in my case three

I found Iguana really friendly, helpful and efficient to both buy the pen and when I had a query - very quick to respond. The pen is gorgeous and I’m now using it every day.
