The Pontifex Maximus is our first fountain pen model. In Latin, Pontifex means "bridge-builder". Made in Belgium from Japanese ebonite and featuring a "Japanese eyedropper" filling system, this oversized fountain pen is a well balanced writing instrument and offers a generous canvas for urushi and maki-e artwork.
In the Our Own Myths series, just like the masters of old, we reference the stories of today, our own myths.
In Japan the symbolism of hotaru or fireflies is rich and diverse: beginning of summer, love as well as war, the spirits of the deceased etc.
Hotaru are depicted in the togidashi-maki-e method.
