From ancient times in Japan, the shape of the Chrysanthemum flower has been likened to the sun, and regarded as a symbol driving away evil spirits. The flower is also depicted in the Japanese royal emblem, with the stylized chrysanthemum blossom used as an imperial symbol, and as crests for recognition.
In addition, ancient Asian folklore has it that drinking the fresh dew collected from Chrysanthemums helps to lengthen one’s life. The message is that paying attention to such details is good for the spirit. Thus, its blossoms have come to symbolize longevity and good fortune in the Japanese culture.
The workmanship on this fountain pen requires the most experienced and sensitive artisans to create the perfect imagery.
This Namiki design portrays the Chrysanthemum in full bloom. It is decorated with gold dust and gold flakes, silver and mother-of-pearl, creating the picturesque imagery of fresh Chrysanthemum flowers floating on water.
