A most unmistakable feature about this pen is its feed. Namiki has successfully created an entirely monochromatic fountain pen. Long, slender and red this pen is simple, yet stunning. Perhaps this is what a haiku would look like if it took the shape of a fountain pen?

Urushi, the red material that forms the surface of this pen is made from the sap from Japanese lacquer tree. The process of collecting the Urushi (sap) and applying many layers of lacquer to this fountain pen took three months to complete. This technique, though painstaking, gives this fountain pens its deep lustrous sheen and has been used by Namiki craftsmen since 1918.

This particular color red, pigmented with red iron oxide, has been used since early times. The red is deep and rich, reminiscent of a geisha's lipstick or the dye that was used to color the fabrics of Japanese royalty. This color evokes a quiet passion, ancient and simple.

This pen comes with Namiki's highest quality converter available on any fountain pen that we know of. (Please see our Pen Measurements page for ink capacity and comparison).

It also comes with a bottle of Namiki ink and a single ink cartridge. We suggest, if you use cartridges, that you get more than the one that comes with this pen. These cartridges are not interchangeable with other brands.

A nicely designed softwood inner presentation box surrounds this pen.
