Hire the Namiki Yukari Maki-e Herb Decoration for just £20.00 per week!
Description:
This Namiki Yukari Herb Decoration maki-e fountain pen was released in November 2013 by a collaboration of maki-e artists (Kokkokai) in Japan. It features the Togidashi-Hira Maki-e technique (burnished-flat maki-e), depicting a bouquet of flowering herbs. The pen has an 18k gold nib in size #10, fills via CON-70 cartridge/converter.
The Yukari Collection vividly expresses the nature of the four seasons, which the Japanese have been familiar with since ancient times, by combining designs with various techniques such as Togidashi-Taka Maki-e (Burnished-Raised Maki-e) and Raden (Mother-of-Pearl). While being a size that can be carried and used every day, it harbors Japanese beauty down to the finest detail.
