A Masterpiece of Japanese Lacquer Art
Taccia Miyabi Empress "Goldfish Suaka" Maki-e Fountain Pen
Limited to only 20 pieces worldwide, the Taccia Miyabi Empress "Goldfish Suaka" is far more than a fountain pen — it is a miniature sculpture, a testament to centuries-old Japanese craftsmanship, and a collectible heirloom meant to be cherished across generations.
The Art of Taka-makie
At the heart of this creation lies the ancient technique of Taka-makie (high-relief gold lacquer). Unlike flat decorative methods, Taka-makie involves building up layers of urushi (Japanese lacquer) over months of meticulous handwork. The result is three lively goldfish that literally rise from the surface — its rounded belly and gracefully flowing tail fins possess a sculpted, three-dimensional presence that you can both see and feel. Every subtle curve is a testament to the master artisan's unwavering patience and precision.
The Raden Inlay
Encircling the goldfish are carefully selected and hand-placed raden (abalone shell fragments). These iridescent inlays are not merely decorative — they capture and refract light in shifting shades of emerald green, deep violet, and oceanic blue. As you rotate the pen, the shell fragments shimmer like ripples of sunlight dancing across the surface of a clear summer pond, bringing the underwater scene to life with every movement.
The Writing Experience
Beneath its artistic exterior lies an equally impressive writing instrument. The pen is equipped with Sailor's exclusive KOP size 18K two-tone gold nib — the largest and most prestigious nib in Sailor's lineup, custom-made for Taccia. Paired with a body crafted from warm, luxurious ebonite (hard rubber), the pen delivers an extraordinarily soft, responsive, and effortlessly smooth writing experience. Each stroke glides with a subtle elasticity that seasoned collectors and writers will instantly recognise as world-class.
Limited Edition & Presentation
Every individual pen is engraved with its unique production number out of 20, affirming its place as a rare collector's piece (our number and nib selection: #19, M nib). It arrives in a sumptuous wooden gift box, accompanied by a protective pen sleeve, a bottle of matching ink, a converter, and two ink cartridges — everything you need to begin your writing journey the moment you unbox it.
