\u201cMaki-e\u201d is a historic Japanese art form developed over 1500 years ago, which literally means \u201csprinkled picture\u201d in Japanese. Originally, Maki-e pens and other objects are created by experienced Japanese artisans who applied skills and techniques handed down usually through family lines. Maki-e art soon gained notoriety among the royal and elite members of the Japanese culture.<\/p>\n

Today, the Maki-e art form is found in various fine writing instruments. Only the finest of materials are used in Maki-e pens, where centuries old traditions of powdered metals, lacquering and multi-layering patterns create uniquely Japanese scenic designs and themes.<\/p>\n

Pen Chalet carries a wide variety of Maki-e style pens from various pen brands including many Japanese pen manufacturers<\/a>. Contact or visit Pen Chalet to order your next collectible Maki-e pen today. Many of our Maki-e pens come with a 20% off of retail discount.<\/p>\n
