AP Limited Editions Sakura Lacquer Art Fountain Pen - Rhythm
AP Limited Editions Sakura Lacquer Art Fountain Pen – Rhythm
The Rhythm fountain pen from AP Limited Editions’ Sakura Lacquer Art Collection celebrates motion, harmony, and the flow of life. Inspired by the natural cadence found in music, art, and the world around us, this piece captures the beauty of movement through the timeless language of urushi and maki-e.
Each pen is handcrafted in Japan by master artisans. Layers of luminous lacquer are applied and polished by hand to create a fluid base of shifting color—one that seems to pulse softly under changing light. Over this surface, delicate maki-e patterns trace organic curves and forms, evoking waves, wind, and the steady rhythm of breath. The result is both visually dynamic and profoundly tranquil.
Fitted with a 14-karat gold nib and plastic feed, the Rhythm offers a writing experience as expressive and natural as the art that defines it. Its balance and smoothness make it an ideal companion for daily writing or mindful reflection.
Produced in limited numbers, this piece embodies the essence of harmony: a perfect union of craft, beauty, and soul.

Materials and care
Materials and care
- Avoid direct exposure to sunlight or strong UV light. Urushi lacquer is sensitive to prolonged sun exposure and may dull or become brittle over time.
- Store the pen in a stable, indoor environment avoiding extremes of heat, cold or humidity. A relative humidity around 70–80 % and moderate temperature preserves lacquer integrity.
- Clean the exterior gently using a soft, dry microfiber cloth. If necessary, you may lightly moisten the cloth with clean water; avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents as they can damage the lacquer finish.
- Do not soak the pen or use an ultrasonic cleaning device on the lacquered surface—moisture and agitation can cause delamination or surface irregularities.
- While in use or storage, avoid impact or dropping the pen, and remove any sweat, salt or harsh chemicals from contact with the pen body — these may etch the surface or alter the finish over time.
- With proper care, your urushi-finished pen is not just a writing instrument—it is a heirloom object designed to retain its beauty and performance across decades.
