Special Order Item
Namiki's Yukari collection celebrates the seasons in Japan, and this fountain pen is inspired by the concept of cherry tree blossom (or sakura) falling at night - Hana-akari. The effect is quite surreal: the petals seem almost luminescent as they drift through the air, giving the impression of snow in spring.
The barrel of Cherry Blossoms at Night is made from precious resin, and the Japanese decorative techniques of togidashi maki-e and raden have been used to create the design. This is a lacquering process where motifs are carved into the lacquered surface with special chisels. Lacquer is inlaid into the grooves and metallic powder and nacre (mother-of-pearl) are placed to create striking images in the bodywork of each pen. It is then completely covered with Urushi lacquer and once dried, the design is revealed by burnishing the lacquer with charcoal.
The result is a delicate rendering of a very special event in the Japanese seasonal calendar.
The black barrel and artwork are beautifully complemented by a gold-plated pocket clip featuring the Namiki logo; and an 18-carat gold nib with the Namiki logo and a depiction of Mount Fuji engraved on it.
Supplied with a bottle of black Namiki fountain pen ink in a luxury presentation case with a velvet inlay and a cleaning cloth.
Orders placed before 3pm Monday to Friday will normally be sent out the same day.
