Namiki
Yukari Wave and Plover
This is one of the most traditional
motif Yukari pens we have seen in a long time. The views are distant, the composition
is subtle and the subject is serene. Atmospheric perspective provides distance
between the birds and the waves. The pine tree grows out of the traditional rock
of Japan. The sequence of three birds on the cap (see the cap detail below) gives
the impression of motion.
The Wave and Plover design incorporates
two different Maki-e techniques, Togidashi-maki-e (burnished Maki-e) and Hira-maki-e
(flat Maki-e). Togidashi-maki-e is a method in which gilded patterns are dried,
recoated with urushi, and finally burnished to a high sheen using charcoal. This
style of Maki-e dates to the 7th century. The Hira-maki-e method uses colored
urushi lacquers combined with raw lacquer which is then coated with a sprinkling
of gold and silver powders.

Note the use of both silver and gold, sprinkled next to the
artist's signature above. The signature in red is below the Japanese characters
describing this pen.
Available in Fine or Medium 18k two-tone
nib, these pens are superb writers, usually a little finer than European points
of the same name. This pen comes with Namiki's highest quality converter, in fact
this is the best converter filling system we have seen anywhere. It also comes
with a single ink cartridge. We suggest, if you use cartridges, that you get more.
A nicely designed soft-wood inner presentation box surrounds this pen.
