Namiki Yukari Nightline Moonlight Raden
The Namiki Yukari Nightline Moonlight is a master work of raden application. Tiny strips of abalone are imbedded in the resin barrel and refract different colors as the pen is turned in your fingers. We can provide this pen with your choice of 18k solid gold nib unit.
Please note that the demand for these very special handcrafted pens almost always outpaces supply - we strongly suggest pre-ordering to secure the next available pen.
Raden, or abalone shell, is a favorite precious material for use in Maki-e art. But few writing instruments realized using this technique can match the precise beauty of this Namiki Nightline Moonlight.
The layering of abalone into the black lacquer on this Nightline Moonlight pen conjures up the image of clear moonlight casting its flickering, silver light over a dark rippled lake. As you follow the thick black arcs through the reflecting abalone the colors seem to ripple in the current.
