Pens
The design of the Yukari Royale Lioness and Cubs brings to life the phrase “Spare the rod and spoil the child.” It is longstanding story also mirrors the parenting technique said to be used by lions. The lioness will leave her cubs at the bottom of a ravine to encourage the cubs to rally their strength to get out of the depths of the canyon. Only the strong cubs will persevere. This scene is a parable that only parents with deep wisdom, discipline and strong principles are capable of following in the lioness’ parenting footsteps. The Namiki Yukari Royale was created using a burnished-raised Maki-e style called Togidashi-taka Maki-e. The artisans painted the pen with a lacquer and used gold and silver powder to sprinkle over the exquisite design. Then, the artisans use charcoal to delicately scrape the surface until their intricate design is revealed. Each pen is signed Kokkoukai Matsuzawa (国光会 松沢) on the barrel. This stunning fountain pen is complemented with 18-karat gold nibs with rhodium adorned. It fills via cartridge/converter (a CON-70 is included), and comes packaged in a wooden box with a bottle of ink.
