NAMIKI YUKARI CORMORANT FOUNTAIN PEN
Inspired by symbolic images from nature, master maki-e craftsmen and artists use traditional Japanese techniques of Togidashi, Raden and Taka-maki-e to painstakingly hand-apply gold, abalone shell and color pigments to the black urushi lacquer base. The result is the exquisite Yukari Cormorant fountain pen with solid 18K gold nib and clip. Each one is presented in a traditional Japanese wood gift box with a bottle of ink and a certificate bearing the maki-e artist s signature.
