Namiki Yukari Maki-e Turtles Fountain Pen
This pen is pre-owned, but in wonderful condition. The pen comes complete with a box, papers and ink. It is equipped with an 18k Medium Nib and fills via a cartridge/convertor (included). The outer box has some writing on the inside of one of the sides (see last image).
Decorated using the Maki-e technique, Namiki Yukari fountain pens pay tribute to nature, this time depicting turtles swimming among water lilies. According to traditional Japanese beliefs, the turtle is a refuge for immortals and the world’s mountain, symbolizing longevity, good luck, and support. This pen features the Togidashi-Taka Maki-e technique, completing the background and other elements of the scene using Togidashi Maki-e techniques, emphasizing the main design using other materials such as lacquer and charcoal powder. The design is then finished using the same techniques as Hira (flat) Maki-e. The result is an impression of majestic opulence.
This pen is equipped with an 18k gold nib. It houses a cartridge convertor filling system.
