Cigar Portable BELL CRICKETS　

The motif is bell crickets (Suzumushi). The black background is shaded with gold powder, and the bell crickets are drawn with gold maki-e, and one piece of blue shell is pasted as the wing and drawn the wing lines on it with gold maki-e. The bell crickets antennas are drawn very thin and long, and to wrap around the pen barrel. Even though gold is used extensively, the curves and motifs are drawn with delicate lines to create a rather elegant finish without being too flashy.
