Namiki Yukari “Shooting Stars” or “Shooting Stars”.
Shooting stars are a cosmic phenomenon that occurs when small fragments of rock, called meteors, enter the Earth’s atmosphere. The high speed of these bodies and the friction they suffer when they come into contact with the atmosphere cause them to heat up and result in a trail of light that can occasionally be observed in the night sky. This phenomenon has given rise to numerous superstitions and, to this day, they are still considered symbols of good luck and the custom of making a wish when observing a shooting star in the sky persists in many cultures.
Souls of the deceased who roam the heights and grant wishes to the living or gods who, driven by curiosity, opened the dome of heaven to observe the Earth, letting some stars fall on it, are some of the beliefs associated with shooting stars and constitute the background that it intends to represent, with its fantastic maki-e decoration, the Namiki Yakuri Shooting Stars fountain pen.
Its design is due to the hand of the maki-e artist Misa and for its elaboration different decorative techniques are used such as the “Togidashi Maki-e” or the “Raden”. The first in its Fuse-zai-shiki variant to reproduce the darkness of the night and highlight various details on it, such as the trail of stars; the second, with its iridescent fragments of mother-of-pearl, to represent the celestial bodies. A perfect conjunction that astonishes for its meticulousness and its fascinating beauty.
The final result is a true work of art, made entirely by hand in a laborious process that can take up to three months and signed by the artist on the back of the barrel. A piece that also uses different precious materials and that is irreproducible with total accuracy, which makes each writing instrument a unique and unrepeatable piece and explains its high cost and exclusivity.
All the fountain pens in the Yukari collection are equipped with a practical cartridge or converter loading system and mount a splendid 18-carat solid gold nib that is available in thicknesses F (fine), M (medium) and B (broad). . The engraved decoration of the latter includes, among other elements, the silhouette of the famous Mount Fuji with its summit apparently covered in snow thanks to the strategic placement of a fine rhodium mask.

Namiki Yukari size Bamboo Fountain pen maki-e new
3.500,00€The fountain pens in the Yukari collection by Namiki are delicate works of art, signed by their author, whose motif, borrowed from the symbols of Japanese tradition, has been engraved free-hand on copper-plate.
The ink is fed either by a piston converter or by a cartridge.Each of the Yukari fountain pens requires, as do the Emperors, three months and sometimes more of expert, loving and minute craftsmanship.
Such is the time that must be devoted to bringing to perfection the ornamental grace, true to the Maki-e craft, mingling polychromatic lacquers and gold dust.The Maki-e, a decorating technique patiently refined by Nipponese artists over the centuries, came to full bloom in the 14th and 15th centuries A. D., when, as it was highly sought by the aristocracy, it came to enrich the looks of the implements used in the tea ceremony.
Maki-e is part and parcel of the cultural heritage of old Japan. It involves no less than thirty some different processes, that concur in decors of utmost subtlety and unrivalled luxury.
Patiently and serenely adorned following the rules of that ancestral craft, the fountain pens in the Yukari collection sing in praise of a civilisation foregone.
Only those to whom time is irrelevant may decorate with infinitesimal paintbrush strokes, these loving birds, symbol of longevity, fruitful life, borrowed from the mythology of ancient Japan.
