The 260 Chinese characters of the Heart Sutra are an especially meaningful subject in Japanese Buddhist art; traditionally, reading or hand-copying the sutra is associated with blessings, protection, and freedom from suffering.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe artwork is created over a resin body using layers of urushi lacquer and gold decoration, producing a richly luminous surface and remarkable depth. Platinum describes its #3776 Maki-e instruments as individually handcrafted, with artists applying layer upon layer of urushi lacquer, gold powder, and other decorative materials.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis example is fitted with a 14K gold Broad (B) nib and gold trim, making it an especially appealing combination for collectors who appreciate both Japanese maki-e artistry and expressive fountain-pen writing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003eProduct Details\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBrand: Platinum\u003cbr\u003eModel: #3776 Hannya-Shingyo\u003cbr\u003eDesign: Hannya-Shingyo \/ Heart Sutra\u003cbr\u003eColor: Red\u003cbr\u003eMaterial: Resin body with urushi maki-e lacquer\u003cbr\u003eDecoration: Gold maki-e\u003cbr\u003eTrim: Gold\u003cbr\u003eNib: 14K gold, Broad (B)\u003cbr\u003eFilling System: Cartridge\/Converter\u003cbr\u003eOrigin: Japan\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Excellent\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Platinum","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53771497636134,"sku":"DL3-078","price":600.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0002\/8573\/6972\/files\/1789592697403_wvcokin5p2e.jpg?v=1789592884","url":"https:\/\/thepleasureofwriting.com\/products\/platinum-3776-hannya-shingyo-fountain-pen-red-maki-e-with-gold-trim-14k-gold-broad-nib","provider":"The Pleasure of Writing","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
