Theartist Tatsuya Tōdō is one of the younger Maki-E masters in Japan. He has beenawarded many highly coveted prizes for the excellence of his work. Classic Pensand Tatsuya Tōdō have had a fruitful working relationship since 2001. Theartist has painted several novel designs for Classic Pens which are part of theLS and AL Signature Collections of Maki-E Art Pens. The LB2 Kimono Shinrin& Sakyu are hand crafted, with natural precious materials. The artist workswith large batches of 40 pens at a time. The mixing and application of thevarious colors and urushi lacquer with this size batch is very efficient interms of time and costs. The quality of the natural precious materials andwork, however, is always maintained. Traditional Maki-E art mostlyrepresents scenes of flora and fauna, or themes of Eastern culture. ClassicPens Maki-E designs have often focused on geometry, color, texture and thehighest levels of artistry and skill. The LB2 Kimono is faithful to thistradition.
