Superheros!!!!!!
Tumblr media
After more than 20 years of stellar stage, TV, and film performances, Anthony Mackie is stepping into the spotlight to play the superhero of all superheroes—but in a new way.
 
Anthony Mackie is Captain America. After appearing in six Marvel Cinematic Universe films as Sam Wilson, aka Falcon, the actor is putting on the notoriously heavy shield of the superhero as the star of February’s Captain America: Brave New World.
The moment is epic for comic book fans, and it’s also a win for proponents of representation on the big and small screen.

印籠 (inrô) pill box/nested boxes, handy chart by fantastic Edo-lover Nadeshico Rin.
Inrô were first used during Sengoku period by men to carry their personal seals (印鑑 inkan) and thick red ink (朱肉 shuniku). It was then used to carry medecines (薬 kusuri), such as pills (丸薬 ganyaku), powders (散薬 sanyaku), or decoctions (煎じ薬 senjigusuri). Slowy people also added any small trinkets which could fit in.
First carried by samurai class, it then spread to chônin commoners in the Edo period. Many shapes existed, and inrô boxes could be made from many materials depending of their owners’ fortune, from paper to precious ivory. Often beautifully decorated, their designs could include raden (mother of pearl inlays), or makie (gold powder).
On the right, you can see the different part of an inrô:
根付 (netsuke) carved toggle (sometimes very intricated miniature sculptures), slipped into the obi belt
紐 (himo) cord, holding everything together
緒締 (ojime) string-fastener bead, could be made from precious coral or as decorated as netsuke
飾結び (kazari musubi) ornamental knot​, at the bottom
紐通し孔 (himodôshiana) lacing hole, to thread the cord into the boxes
蓋鬘 (futakazura) top piece, lid of the box
段 (-dan) row of boxes, ex. 一段 (ichidan) first row
Main types of inrô shapes existed, with of without visible lacing holes (紐通し付き himodôshi tsuki = visible / 隱し紐通し kakushi himodôshi = hidden). Rin details following styles on the left:
杏仁形 (kyônin gata) apricot seed shaped
楕円形 (daen gata) ellipse​ shaped
胴張形 (dôbari gata) hull shaped
丸角長方形 (marusumi chôhôkei) rounded rectangle shaped
長方形 (chôhôkei) rectangle shaped
角切形 (sumikiri gata) cut-corners shaped

This is a c. 1957 Yotsubishi ink shut-off eyedropper fountain pen decorated using a Shibayama style Raden mother-of-pearl shell inlay technique on red urushi lacquer. The pen was featured in the winter 2006 Pennant article “Collecting Japanese Pens” by Stan Klemanowicz. The pen was made by Ishi-Shoten Yotsubishi (literally yotu = four, bisi = diamond), a company from Osaka that made highly collectible decorated pens, but according to the article, sourced nibs and hardware from other pen companies. The four diamond logo can be seen on the top of the clip and on the cap band. The nib on this example is made by Platinum and is stamped PLATINUM over 14K. GOLD over 30 YEAR over 3 over PEN. The nib is likely a replacement.

A Brief History of Maki-e:
Maki-e has a rich history dating back to the Heian period (794-1185) in Japan. The art form was initially used to decorate lacquerware and other household items, but eventually made its way to fountain pens in the 20th century. Today, maki-e fountain pens are highly sought after for their unique designs and craftsmanship.
Techniques Used in Maki-e Fountain Pens:
The maki-e technique involves applying layers of lacquer to the pen and then sprinkling metallic powders on top. The powders are then fixed in place with another layer of lacquer.

Designs and Themes:
Maki-e fountain pens can feature a wide variety of designs and themes. Some popular motifs include landscapes, animals, and traditional Japanese symbols. Some artists also incorporate gold and silver leaf into their designs for an added touch of luxury. The possibilities are truly endless when it comes to maki-e fountain pens, making each piece truly unique and one-of-a-kind.
Maki-e fountain pens are a true work of art, combining the traditional Japanese art form of maki-e with the functionality of a fountain pen.
