These pens are created by highly-skilled craftsmen using ancient techniques, and result in truly beautiful pieces of work. And because they are pens, they make an everyday act - in this case, writing - a real pleasure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe designs relate to traditional Japanese culture, including dragons, flowers and origami. They are created using 'Hira Maki-e', a technique that uses coloured Urushi and raw lacquer covered in silver and gold powder. Once dry, several layers of Urushi are applied and then polished to a deep, lustrous shine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Urushi lacquer is harvested from a type of sumac tree at a very specific time of the year. It's then processed to ensure its durability. The designs are created by an exclusive group of artists - the Kokkokai, or 'Group of the Nation's Light' - who spend many years perfecting their particular technique - and they concentrate on only one technique in their lifetime. Each design is incredibly detailed and involves both the barrel and the screw-on cap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCreated in-house at Namiki, the nibs are made from 14 carat Japanese gold and tipped with iridium.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSupplied in a luxury wooden gift box with a 60ml bottle of black Namiki ink and a converter.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Namiki","offers":[{"title":"Fine","offer_id":43642682441971,"sku":"NM82644-F","price":609.77,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0659\/6388\/4787\/products\/NM82644-ZZZ_Namiki-Tradition-Fountain-Pen-Origami-Crane_P1.jpg?v=1663767649","url":"https:\/\/cultpens.com\/en-us\/products\/namiki-tradition-fountain-pen-origami-crane","provider":"Cult Pens","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
