Being made available starting in November, the new Namiki Yukari Royale Lioness and Cubs is hand-finished in exacting and time intensive Togidashi-taka Maki-e technique by artists who are members of the renowned Kokkokai collective in Kanagawa, south of Tokyo. Each pen is provided with your choice of 18k solid gold nib.

The startling and dramatic motif of this pen, realized using gold and silver powders and urushi lacquer, depicts a lioness watching over her cubs as they ascend from a ravine. The stylized depiction of the lioness and cubs is in keeping with traditional depictions found in Japanese paintings and sculpture and in Shinto shrines. As our price as an authorized Namiki dealer is $5800.
