The new Van Gogh-inspired launch is Oiran, a collection that pays homage to the eponymous Japanese-influenced painting of the same name (1887). In fact, the artist painted it during his Japonisme period, a term that indicates the attraction and interest of the French painters of the 20th century in the art of the Rising Sun. The pen, in its shades, reproduces some of the colours used by Van Gogh: on the barrel the tones are warm, while on the cap they are cooler. The yellow gold metallic coating is a perfect match. The Van Gogh 2022 collection kit also pays homage to the painting depicting a highborn courtesan.
"One cannot study Japanese art without becoming much happier and more cheerful."
Vincent Van Gogh.
I found Iguana really friendly, helpful and efficient to both buy the pen and when I had a query - very quick to respond. The pen is gorgeous and I’m now using it every day.
