Namiki - Yukari Royale Vermillion – Pen Venture

Introducing the Namiki Yukari Royale Urushi Maki-e Fountain Pen, a masterpiece meticulously crafted by Japanese maki-e artisans (kokkokai). This exquisite pen showcases the timeless Roiro Urushi technique in a rich, solid vermillion red hue.

The heart of this pen is its 18k gold nib, sized at #20, ensuring a smooth and luxurious writing experience. It offers the flexibility of both cartridge and converter filling methods, with a CON-70 converter included for your convenience.

The pen is elegantly presented in a wooden box and comes accompanied by a bottle of ink, adding to its aura of sophistication.

Sobriety, enduring modernity, and sheer elegance define this model's pure design, elegantly adorned with the world-famous Namiki lacquer. Whether in deep black or vibrant vermilion, these two quintessential colors of traditional lacquer exude a captivating allure.

For centuries, the Chinese shielded their treasured possessions from the ravages of humidity with Urushi, a natural lacquer derived from the resin of Rhus Vernicifera, a tree native to Southeast Asia. It was later introduced to the eastern shores of the Japanese archipelago.

Namiki has always insisted on the highest quality Urushi, sourced from male lacquer trees harvested at a decade of age. Each tree yields a mere 3 or 4 teaspoons of lacquer, and the harvest window is exceptionally brief. The complexity of this process underscores the rarity and value of the product.

Traditionally limited to black and vermilion, the lacquer's color palette only expanded in the 19th century with advances in chemistry. Each pen undergoes dozens of painstaking lacquer applications, followed by meticulous charcoal polishing. A special, oil-free topcoat imparts an unparalleled sheen and softness. Due to the numerous layers of lacquer, polishing, and drying, it takes a full three months to craft this exceptional model.

Its a exquisite pen to use.

Fantastic Pen!

I wanted to drop a quick note to say that the Titan Slim Line is a very impressive pen and wonderful to write with! I started with a medium nib, which I quickly realized wasn’t what I really wanted as this pen felt like a daily writer, so I replaced the nib with a standard Jowo fine that perfectly screwed right in. The fit and finish are extremely nice on the pen! It really feels like one solid piece since the clearances between both the screw down finial and the metal to acrylic sections of the body are so finely machined! I really love the micro grooves in the section that give it a very pleasant feel when writing. The exceptionally smooth filling mechanism and the amount of suction produced is class leading in my opinion. Some will feel the price is too high due to no gold nib, but I’ll say the pen puts gold nibbed pens with basic acrylic bodies and converters in second place to me. Finally, Pen Venture had the pen to my house in the US in less than a week, including of course, a lovely hand written note. I suggest buying this pen if you are on the fence and seriously considering it if you are looking for a unique and beautiful new pen.

Excellent service, fast delivery and great customer care. Thank you for the kind handwritten note.

Superbly built and balanced

A phenomenal pen, wonderful balance from the material choices with the weight leaning slightly to the front. Great ink flow though I have no doubt an ebonite feed would have improved it. Arrived with quite a scratchy extra fine but I sorted that with little effort and honestly there is simply no beating the unique filling system or the absolutely perfect engineering and tolerances evident in Roy’s creation. Puts all else to shame (except maybe Gravitas of course).

Emy and the team were fantastic in arranging the shipping to perfection and keeping me informed himself throughout!

It's the best!!
