Namiki - Yukari Maki-e Bamboo

The Namiki Yukari Maki-e Bamboo fountain pen reflects the quiet strength and elegance of nature. Inspired by the symbolism of bamboo, resilience, flexibility and grace, the fountain pen features a deep urushi lacquer base adorned with traditional Togidashi Maki-e decoration. Fine gold detailing brings the bamboo motif to life with subtle depth and refinement.

Each fountain pen is handcrafted by master artisans of the Kokkokai artisan group, using time-honored techniques that demand patience and precision. Multiple layers of lacquer are carefully applied and polished to achieve a rich, mirror-like finish. The bamboo design is executed entirely by hand, making every writing instrument a unique piece of functional art.

Fitted with an 18-karat gold nib, the pen delivers a smooth and responsive writing experience. Its balance and feel in hand encourage a natural, effortless flow, turning writing into a calm and deliberate act. It is both a refined instrument and a tribute to traditional Japanese craftsmanship.
