MONTEGRAPPA BIJO-TO-YAJU By Tomita Kazuhiko Ltd EDITION FOUNTAIN PEN

A vision inspired by Jean Cocteau’s classic La Belle et la Bête bends the conventions of writing instrument design. Golden enamel and traditional Kintsugi technique join fragments of 18th-century woodblock prints ¬– transposed chapters from one of Europe’s greatest love stories. Universal notions of heroism, beauty and forbidden love are personified by the figure of the Beast, cast in vermeil.
