Namiki Yukari Ginkgo Maki-e Fountain Pen - Limited Edition

Namiki Yukari Ginkgo Maki-e limited edition fountain pen. Limited to 69 pieces in the United States (300 worldwide). From Namiki:  Pilot is pleased to announce the 2022 Limited Edition Namiki Yukari, Ginkgo. The exceptional artwork featured on this fountain pen was designed by the highly revered Kokkokai group. It takes many months to expertly handcraft each Ginkgo pen. Only 300 were produced worldwide, with 69 of these available in the US. The barrel artwork was designed using traditional maki-e lacquer work and finished with a sprinkling of gold dust using the togidashi polishing technique. Each of the ginkgo leaves represented on the pen were expertly crafted using a variety of maki-e techniques. The fuller, gold leaves use a hira (flat) technique and the delicate outlined leaves use a kakiwari technique. The pen has a traditional cigar shaped body style and is enhanced with a #10 18-karat gold nib with rhodium plated accents to depict the iconic silhouette of Mount Fuji. Ginkgo tre
