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.

Pilot Urushi perfection

Magnificent in its simplicity. The nib is tuned to perfection. The perfect size for most hands. A smooth no feedback nib that is very forgiving and is left hand friendly. The Urushi is smooth radiating an out of this world brilliance, paint strokes are evident with a 10x loop. And of course the fit and finish and Pilots quality control is flawless perfection.

Leonardo Momento: Momentous

The Leonardo Momento is a magnificent writing instrument. The grey translucent body give's a hint of its interior and allows you to see thr ink level. The feel on the the body is similar to the lava on a Visconti Homo Sapiens. The gold colored steel nib explodes with the name Leonardo surrounded with flourishes. The stub nib writes with minimal feedback and allows for some very nice line variation. It is an Excellent choice for left handed writers. Overall the fit and finish is flawless.

Stunning Leonardo Momento Magico Primary Manipulation 1 by Jonathon Brooks

This is my first Leonardo pen and I am very impressed so far! I also have never tried a piston fill system and I am liking it. The pen is absolutely stunning and I do know that each pen by Jonathon Brooks is different however I was sent photos of the exact pen I was buying, of each side of it and for this I am very grateful to Pen Venture and their fabulous customer service. I was hesitant about ordering as I am in Canada but the shipping was very speedy and the "tariffs" were minimal!! I would not hesitate to order from Pen Venture again as this Leonardo is exquisite to write with as well as to look at!

OUTSTANDING
