3952 Lao Shanyang - Natural Lacquer Calligraphy Pen: KAVALAN Nezha Third Prince Calligraphy Titanium Nib Fountain Pen

Hand-painted with natural urushi lacquer, each pen undergoes a meticulous 72-layer process of lacquering, polishing, and curing. This artisanal journey, requiring 3-6 months to achieve a subtle luster, is followed by intricate hand-painting. The result is a pen with palpable brushstrokes and depth, capturing the spirit and form of figures and animals through expressive, freehand artistry, a departure from rigid, detailed styles. Beyond Teacher Amo's unique techniques, each stroke reveals texture, incorporating Japanese Maki-e methods to showcase the inherent grain. Unlike standard lacquer pens with uniform surfaces lacking visible strokes, Lao Shanyang's natural lacquer paintings exhibit distinct, lively brushwork that vividly outlines the subject. More than just a static desk ornament, it is a complete work of art. Continuously striving for perfection, this is not a Japanese, Chinese, chemically coated, or printed product. Lao Shanyang redefines the realm of natural lacquer craftsmanship, pioneering a new frontier for natural lacquer fountain pens with innovative approaches. Through exquisite artistry, it revives the aesthetic of fountain pens as both usable and collectible items. These pens offer not only the tactile warmth of handwriting and the smooth glide on paper but also serve as artistic centerpieces for your desk. Nezha, revered in Taoism as the Marshal of the Central Altar, Marshal Li, Prince Nezha, or the Third Prince, rides wind-fire wheels and wields the Fire-Tipped Spear. The Third Prince is considered the ultimate all-around athlete, as his swift actions determine efficiency. Furthermore, the Third Prince possesses numerous magical treasures and oversees a vast array of responsibilities, primarily ensuring safe travels and protecting children, as he is known for his fondness for interacting with and playing with children. Another key aspect is wealth attraction. The Third Prince also commands the heavenly soldiers and generals. When people pray for financial fortune, various deities require the heavenly soldiers and generals to investigate and gather information. Troop deployment and command must follow protocol, requiring prior notification to the Third Prince, his supervisor.

Images are for reference only; the product is a single pen. Some photos may exhibit slight color variations due to lighting and angles; the actual product prevails. Note: For the pen body and cap, regular wiping and maintenance are recommended. When storing, please avoid prolonged downward storage of the nib. Warm reminder: When writing, do not press down on the nib or write with the nib angled excessively left or right (for a right-handed writer, it is recommended to position the nib at approximately the 10 or 11 o'clock direction). This prevents accidental misalignment of the iridium tip, which can lead to scratching and ink flow issues. The nib should be rinsed with clean water regularly to prevent ink blockage and maintain writing quality.
