Geisha's * Phoenix

Description:

"Geishas" is the second pen in the special Japan series, featuring a typically Japanese theme: fine elongated figures with luxurious and elegantly draped clothes and interesting motifs, creating a tasteful transition from Russia to Japan.

The technique of lacquer art in fact originated in China and Japan! Thanks to the many voyages of discovery that were undertaken, Chinese and Oriental lacquer arts were introduced to Europe in the 16th century. Already in the 18th century, beautifully lacquered snuffboxes were manufactured in France, England and Germany. One of the biggest producers at that time was Johann Stobwasser's factory in Braunschweig, Germany.
