1. SeYPen Bamboo forest maki-e pen done by local Japanese artist. This was one of the first batch of pens they did and comes with matching section instead of the black ebonite they list on their website now. I hate to sell this one, as the landscape might look simple but it unravels as you let your eyes dwell. Original Medium 14K gold nib. Cartridge converter filled. Comes with box/papers. US$736 shipped within USA - Dropped to US$660; maki-e section for almost the price of plain section on SeyPen's website.
2. Tuduriya moonlit forest pen from their Kickstarter campaign. They are a small boutique maker from Japan offering good quality at affordable prices. Body, cap made out high quality ebonite. The green section has the faintest of curves making it inviting for your finger. Standard Bock medium point steel nib. Cartridge converter filled. US$135 shipped within USA SOLD
