Visconti Supernatural Creatures Dragon with Phoenix Limited Edition Fountain Pen
From the International Warranty Document:
"Chinese tradition classified all animals into four categories, each group represented by a mythological beast. Scaly animals like the fish and the snake were symbolized by a Dragon. Feathered animals were depicted as a Phoenix. Furry animals like cats and dogs were represented by a unicorn, and shelled animals by a Tortoise. Dragon, Phoenix, Unicorn and Tortoise were considered 'Supernatural Creatures' with the Dragon leading the pack.
Visconti interpreted this theme with great creativity, by creating a collection of four fountain pens in Limited Editions all dedicated to the 'Supernatural Creatures'.
As we did not want to limit our collection only to China, we have developed the concept to the Japanese Mythology, to the ancient Egypt and Greece. In this way, the collection has become more international, as it includes some of the most representative cultures of the human civilization.
Of course, the subjects here represented, as the dragon and the phoenix— or as the next ones, which are still secret at the moment—have a strong emotional impact and could be easily represented with the Maki-e technique, indeed they are all almost a symbol of the different cultures, which they belong to.
Our master, Soukou Oshita, has worked together with us for the study of the patterns, adding a traditional touch of Japanese taste, which suits perfectly— in our opinion— if added to such a traditional painting technique."
