Pensinasia - Fine Writing Instruments
Pensinasia is a collection of more than a decade of pens, fine writing instruments, and limited edition collectables. Over the past years, I have painstakingly detailed and photographed each pen I have owned, recording down every minute detail within this website. If you are a pen lover like me, you will find Pensinasia to be your definite source of knowledge to fountain pens.

AP Limited Edition Maki-e The Boy with Ox Fountain Pen

AP explores the mystical path of the philosophy and practice of Zen Meditation in the allegory of The Boy and Ox.

The path of Zen Buddhism is believed to have been illustrated by a 12 th century Zen Master named Kajuan through ten images of a boy searching for, finding, capturing, taming and herding and then finally releasing an Ox. These ten images capture the progression of an individual on the path of a Zen Meditation practice seeking the power to attain mastery over one’s mind. 

The Ox symbolizes the wild and unruly mind and the Boy, a seeker on the path of Zen.The climax point on the path of Zen Meditation, is brilliantly represented in the Boy finally catching the Ox it was seeking and steadfastly overcoming the power of the Ox to attain complete victory.
