Danitrio Takumi
Oh man! Your friends will be green with envy when you show them this baby!
This Danitrio Takumi is a drop dead gorgeous pen in beautiful and deep high gloss urushi Midori Tamenuri finish with complimenting hand painted clip and section. The undercoat is Midori (green) under a darker green or black top coat with green visible at the cap and barrel edges. As Tamenuri is supposed to do, the top coat is starting to lighten allowing the green undercoat to begin to show through. While my pictures can't capture it, that effect is more noticeable on the cap. The green section bears the artist's signature.
The 18K gold nib is Danitrio's famed Fireball design and is a Medium. A writing sample included with the pictures below.
The pen measures approximately 145 mm long capped and 130 mm long uncapped. Barrel diameter is 16mm. The pen is cartridge converter filled. I do not have the box.
The only comparable listings I can find are several similar pens posted on the website of Sakura Pen Gallery as you can see in the following link:

These are listed at 1800 Euros but do not have the hand painted section that is on my pen. But why settle when you can have more for less with the pen I am offering?
