In Japanese, "AYA" signifies the essence of colored light, evoking an enchanting world of abstract patterns that spark our imagination and inspire poetry.

Each fountain pen in this collection boasts a vibrant colored lacquer and intricate patterns created using the Togidashi maki-e technique, Raden inlays, and accents of gold or silver powder.

This grey Hayate Gale fountain pen captures the essence of powerful winds, showcasing their majestic and swirling nature. It reflects their perpetual motion and commanding presence. Crafted with Togidashi Maki-e and embellished with silver powder.

Completing each model is the extraordinary 18K N°30 gold nib featuring the iconic image of Mount Fuji, adding a touch of elegance and authenticity.

At the dawn of the 20th century, Namiki introduced the world to the harmonious fusion of the traditional Japanese art form of "Maki-e" with fountain pens.
