A striking figure in classical Japanese theater, the Hannya Mask captures the depth of human emotion at the heart of Noh and Kabuki performance. Traditionally used to portray characters transformed by jealousy and sorrow, the mask conveys both fierce intensity and profound sadness, reflecting the complexity and duality that define Japan’s rich theatrical heritage.
In this hand-painted piece, BENU pays homage to that tradition through intricate, expressive artwork. The pen’s body features the iconic Hannya mask, surrounded by curling smoke and fiery bursts that echo the raw drama of the stage. Subtle decorative elements symbolize the balance between emotion and control, chaos and beauty.
Set against a deep, earthy base with shimmering bronze undertones, the design is completed with gold-plated accents and is available with both a gold-plated or 14k solid gold nib. A celebration of Japanese theater and the art of visual storytelling, the Hannya Mask transforms every line into a performance.
Please bear in mind that the photo may slightly differ from the actual item in terms of color due to the lighting during photo shooting or the monitor’s display. Moreover, each of these unique pens are hand painted. This means each pen slightly differs in art work, and as such is one-of-a-kind. Although all defining elements will be present, we unfortunately can’t guarantee their exact position on the barrel. Relying on a handmade process for these gorgeous works of art, rather than machinery production, is what makes each piece truly unique.
This fountain pen comes with a standard international converter and one long blue ink cartridge. You can also convert it to eyedropper fill.
