Celestial Spring: Taccia Empress Fountain Pen – Shidare Sakura Raden

Experience the pinnacle of Japanese high artistry with the Taccia Empress in the breathtaking Shidare Sakura Raden (Weeping Cherry Blossom) finish. As part of Taccia’s premier Empress collection—the brand's largest and most prestigious silhouette—this instrument is not merely a pen, but a masterpiece of Maki-e and Raden craftsmanship.

The Shidare Sakura edition captures the ephemeral beauty of the Japanese weeping cherry tree. Each pen is individually handcrafted by a master artist in Wajima, Japan, using dozens of layers of natural Urushi lacquer and hand-inlaid segments of precious abalone shell (Raden) to mimic the falling blossoms of spring.

✨ Signature Features: The Grand Empress Silhouette

The Empress series represents Taccia’s most ambitious scale, designed for those who appreciate a substantial, oversized writing instrument.

  • Artisanal Raden & Urushi Work: The "Weeping Cherry" design is achieved through the meticulous application of Raden (mother-of-pearl) to create the shimmering blossoms, set against a deep, multi-layered Urushi lacquer background. The process takes months to complete for a single pen.

  • Oversized Ebonite Body: Underneath the lacquer is a body made of natural ebonite. This material provides a warm, organic feel in the hand and offers the perfect canvas for the lacquer to bond, ensuring the pen will last for generations.

  • Cylindrical "King Size" Profile: The Empress features a majestic, clipless cylindrical shape. This clean aesthetic allows the artwork to wrap seamlessly around the barrel and cap without interruption.

  • 18K Japanese Two-Tone Gold Nib: Fitted with a world-class, "King of Pen" sized 18-karat gold nib manufactured by Sailor in Japan. These nibs are renowned for their incredible smoothness and unique "pencil-like" tactile feedback.

  • Hand-Signed Authenticity: Every Taccia Empress is signed by the individual Maki-e artist on the barrel, marking it as a unique work of functional art.

🖋️ Filling Mechanism & Technical Specs

The Taccia Empress is designed for the serious collector who values traditional Japanese engineering.

  • Filling Mechanism: Converter/Cartridge (Sailor Proprietary).

  • Included: Comes with a Sailor proprietary converter and two starter cartridges.

  • Nib Widths: Typically available in Medium (M), and Broad (B). Given the large size of the nib, it offers a slight natural springiness that enhances the character of your handwriting.

  • Packaging: Each Empress is housed in a traditional Japanese wooden Kiri (paulownia) box, wrapped in an elegant silk kimono pen wrap.

The Enthusiast’s Note: "The Empress is surprisingly light for its size because of the ebonite core, but the visual impact is massive. The Raden cherry blossoms actually seem to glow from within when you rotate the pen under a desk lamp. It’s easily the centerpiece of any high-end Japanese pen collection."
