In Year of the Horse, IKKAKU turns to the poetry of moonlight and distance. The landscape is hushed, the air is clear, and within that stillness a presence emerges, poised, elegant, and unmistakably alive.
Rendered in maki-e, with silver in blue urushi lacquer and an in-laid pearl horse at its center, the piece reveals itself slowly through depth, reflection, and delicate shifts in light. Every surface carries a sense of atmosphere, inviting a longer look and rewarding a closer one.
More than a writing instrument, Year of the Horse is a study in mood and material, shaped for collectors who are drawn to objects of quiet distinction and enduring craftsmanship.
Issued in a worldwide edition of only 26 pieces, Year of the Horse is shaped for collectors who value rarity, atmosphere, and enduring craftsmanship.
