Namiki Chinkin Yukari Fountain Pen - Crane

This Namiki Chinkin pen, crafted in collaboration with Japanese maki-e artists (Kokkokai), features a Yukari size with a flat top and an 18k gold nib (#10 size). It uses a Pilot/Namiki cartridge or converter (CON-70 included) and is presented in a velvet-lined wooden box. The Chinkin Collection showcases "Chinkin (Gold Inlay)," a renowned Japanese lacquer technique akin to Maki-e. Intricate motifs are carved into the lacquered surface with chisels, then filled with lacquer, gold leaves, and gold powder. This technique delivers a detailed, three-dimensional design, reflecting the artistry and precision inherent in Chinkin craftsmanship. Each carve demands meticulous skill, leaving no room for error.
