THE MULBERRY TREE

AP Limited Editions presents a Writer’s delight in this absolutely life-like rendition of The Mulberry Tree.

This beautifully crafted fine writing instrument, is a superb expression of the skill of the Maki-e Artist who has combined Taka Maki-e techniques, Raden craft and Hyomon, a technique of in lay that uses thicker sheets of Gold foil. Each element of the design is meticulously crafted to reveal an idyllic scene of a late Spring day brought to life with the scent of the Mulberry fruit and the enchanting bird that revels in the beauty of the moment as busy bees fly around.

‘It's many's the scenes which is dear to my mind
As I think of my childhood so long left behind;………
……….Countin' all of the joys that was dearest to me,
And a-thinkin' the most of the mulberry tree.’
(James Whitcomb Riley, American Poet & Writer)
