This incredible piece or art was created by Kosetsu San.
In the heart of Hokkaido’s wintry expanse, where snow blankets the earth like a silken kimono, a natural wonder unfolds in the sky: the Aurora Borealis. Known as the Northern Lights, these dancing hues of green, blue, and violet shimmer across the heavens, casting an otherworldly glow on the tranquil landscape.
Inspired by this breathtaking phenomenon, master artisans created the Northern Lights Maki-e writing instrument. Its barrel is adorned with Raden, shimmering abalone shells inlaid into black urushi lacquer, perfectly capturing the luminous hues of the Aurora.
Each delicate fragment mirrors the radiant beauty of the lights as they ripple through the night sky. Gold accents trace the gentle arcs of their motion, evoking the warmth and brilliance of stars illuminating the celestial scene. As you hold the writing instrument, it is as though you have captured a fragment of the Northern Lights themselves—a piece of the sky, crafted to rest in your hand.
Writing with it invokes the serenity of snowbound nights, the wonder of gazing at endless horizons, and the quiet power of nature’s artistry. The Northern Lights Maki-e writing instrument is not merely a tool; it is a bridge to a moment of awe and connection, a whisper of the heavens transformed into art.
