The newest addition to the Namiki Collection is a Limited Edition Emperor called Coral. The exceptional artwork featured on this fountain pen was designed by Seiki Chida (千田 正樹) of the highly revered Kokkokai group. It takes many months to expertly handcraft each Coral pen and there are only 99 available worldwide.
The barrel artwork was designed using the traditional Maki-e lacquer work, Chinkin gold and silver inlay techniques, and stunning mother-of-pearl Raden elements. The Coral has a classical Emperor vest-type body style and is enhanced with a traditional 18-karat gold, rhodium plated nib featuring the iconic silhouette of Mount Fuji, available in Medium or Broad nib sizes.

In Greek mythology, Perseus saves the world by beheading the feared Medusa. Medusa’s blood flowed into the Mediterranean Sea and formed the first coral reef. From Perseus’ brave acts, Coral has often been used around the world as a protection against evil spirits.
In recent years, Coral habitats are decreasing in size due to rising ocean temperatures from global warming – one of the leading environmental issues of today. Pilot hopes that the motif of this beautiful pen inspires us to reflect on the importance of protecting our planet.
Each of the 99 Coral fountain pens is presented in a limited edition, jet black case with a serial plate, and is accompanied by a limited edition bottle of black ink. The cap of the ink bottle is adorned with a compass which matches the design on the fountain pen barrel. The elegant presentation box evokes the feeling of water through the beautiful, silky blue fabric.

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.
