Namiki

In 1918, their first Namiki gold nib made in Japan was mounted onto a body of ebonite, a material that is sensitive to heat and humidity. Starting in 1925, inspired by the lacquer used to protect precious objects, they began working with lacquer artisans, later united within the Kokkokai Group. The modernity of their pens was then enhanced by craft tradition: Maki-e, a lacquer technique passed on between generations of virtuoso artisans. Made in Japan.
Namiki Capless
Namiki Maki-e fountain pens are created using various types of advanced techniques. The more the lacquer is applied, the deeper the colour becomes and the more the gold and silver powder glows. In a world where beauty is vividly expressed in motifs, these techniques convey tradition.

The Namiki Capless retractable-nib pens combine traditional lacquer art and Maki-e with the modernism of an ingenious mechanism. The Raden technique, with its inlays of tiny nacre fragments, gives them their own special lustre. These pens at the forefront of technology.

The Namiki Tradition Collection takes traditional Japanese and auspicious subjects known the world over, and has them drawn on a black lacquered background in Hira Maki-e (Flat Maki-e). The shiny black of the lacquer, along with the overflowing vibrancy from each work makes it a sight to behold.
