Limited to just 25 hand-numbered pieces, this rare edition captures the sinuous grace and transformative power of the snake through luxurious materials and captivating design.

A Dance of Light, Lacquer, and Legend

The Year of the Snake blends tradition and innovation with a base of polished ebonite, masterfully coated in rich, glossy black Urushi lacquer. Shimmering beneath the surface, a Raden pattern—reminiscent of serpent scales—flashes iridescent hues, echoing moonlight reflected on still waters.

Accentuating this dark beauty is a flowing layer of green Tamenuri, subtly transitioning from deep black to verdant green along the barrel and cap. Atop it all, a sculpted silver snake-shaped clip crowns the design, embodying the snake’s elegance, wisdom, and power to shed the old and embrace the new.

• Premium ebonite body finished in hand-applied Urushi lacquer

• Sterling silver snake-shaped clip – a symbol of transformation
