Home : Pens : LS Collection : LS9 Iruka Dansu (Dancing Dolphins)

The LS9 Iruka Dansu (Dancing Dolphins) was launched in 2004. It is a three dimensional high relief composition. The background reflects shades of blue to represent the sun blessed ocean and white foam created by the dancing dolphins. The textured gold shades of the dolphins are complimented by pearl inlay which emphasizes their sparkling eyes. The consummately executed design displays incredible detail of the high relief dolphins and the wonderful blue shades of the ocean. The Dancing Dolphins composition, to our knowledge, is novel for fountain pens.

The Maki-E techniques on the Iruka composition are Togidashi, Taka (raised) and Raden (pearl inlay).
