Namiki by Pilot Emperor Chinkin Peony Fountain Pen
Contact us for the Chatterley Loyalty Price
The Peony is illustrated using the technique of chinkin denbori (gold inlay) where millions of dots are dented on the surface using a sharp chisel and the artist’s inner strength which will then be filled in gold and lacquer polished. The pen is three dimensional and is best appreciated with a magnifying glass.
The Chinkin technique involves carving and not coating, so once the work begins it can not be corrected even if an error is made. Chinkin (gold inlay) is a technique in which a surface is coated with a roiro lacquer with a special carving chisel. Precious metal leaf and powder are then inlayed in the cut patterns. The Peony flower is a traditional motif in Japanese fine art, symbolic of wealth, beauty and prosperity. The pen is fitted with a 18K two-toned gold #50Â nib imprinted with Mt. Fuji.
The large capacity barrel fills with ink via eyedropper, and the pen comes packaged in an elegant presentation box with a bottle of blue ink and signature card. Each pen takes months to create. As these pens are truly one-of-a-kind pieces of art, they are warrantied for life by Namiki.
