    LE FP, c2005, #109/188
    , Med Nib, Maki-e
    This is a Visconti Ogres Supernatural Creatures Limited Edition maki-e fountain pen.  This pen is #109/188.  Pen measures 5 5/8 inches closed.
    The Visconti Supernatural Creatures limited
    edition collection consists of the Anubi, Ogres, Dragon and Phoenix, Maya, and Pegasus and Chimera Limited Edition fountain pens.  With the supernatural creatures collection Visconti gives the world their interpretation of creatures and myths which have inhabit distant cultures for centuries.
    The Japanese Ogres, also known as
    Oni, are demons depicted in various forms and they represent a common
    topos
    in Japanese literature, art and culture in general.
    Sometimes they are painted as half man half animal creatures, sometimes as red skinned and white haired demons and more often just as creatures with unnatural features such as extra eyes or fingers.
    It is debated what the real origin of Oni is, but they are commonly associated to disasters, diseases and death.  Although they are horrendous creatures, they inspire a strong form of respect mixed with some sort of admiration.  After all, Oni are very powerful creatures in Japanese culture.
    Pen has never been filled and shows no signs of use.  Pen is flawless in every respect w/ no cracks, no nicks, no engravings or any flaws of any kind.
    The 18k two-tone nib is Medium and smooth.  Pen is equipped w/ the Visconti powerstroke filling system - pen fills on the downstroke.  Pen fills great (tested w/ water).
    Pen comes only with its presentation box - note the damage to one corner (see pic).
