A Story of Bamboo and Gold — Crafting Culture in Every Stroke
In the heart of Nanjing, artisans have for centuries honed the art of Jinling gold leaf—a technique celebrated across China for its meticulous handcrafting and timeless beauty. Each sheet of gold, hammered tens of thousands of times and refined through twelve delicate processes, becomes a thin, luminous film, preserving the brilliance of pure gold for generations.
Bamboo, the inspiration for this pen, has been a symbol of virtue, resilience, and humility in Chinese culture for thousands of years. Upright yet flexible, bamboo embodies the spirit of integrity and endurance, a quiet strength admired by scholars, poets, and rulers alike.
This pen marries these two cultural treasures. Its bamboo-shaped body carries the strength and elegance of nature, while the gilded gold highlights the refined mastery of Nanjing artisans. Every stroke you write becomes a bridge between past and present—a connection to China’s rich heritage, where craftsmanship, philosophy, and artistry flow together.
Holding this pen is more than writing; it is holding a piece of history, culture, and the enduring beauty of Chinese art.
