Namiki Yukari Milky Way Raden
The Namiki Yukari Milky Way Raden uses precious materials and time-intensive Maki-e technique to create a memorable motif. Each pen is hand-finished in the Namiki workshop in the coastal city of Hirataka in Kanagawa prefecture.
Our complimentary nib tuning ensures your pen will have writing qualities equal to its appearance, and our exclusive nib customizations can add additional character and distinctiveness to your writing on the page. We are an authorized Namiki dealer.
Raden abalone shell has long been used as a material for traditional Maki-e art in Japan, and its use here creates a work both contemporary in appearance and yet grounded in techniques with a centuries-old pedigree. Maki-e artist Misa uses gold and silver powders along with the raden to create the astronomically-inspired scene.
The Yukari model uses Namiki's convenient cartridge-converter filling system - the pen can fill using either Pilot brand disposable ink cartridges, or any bottled fountain pen ink when fitted with the provided converter. A traditionally-styled wooden presentation box adds to the pen's long-term value and collectibility and also makes this an excellent gift item. Each pen will be carefully inspected, tested, and tuned by us before shipping to you.
