From a culture that has revered the art of writing for
more than a thousand years comes instruments that celebrate
both writing and art. Where traditional techniques and modern
innovations are fully realized in writing instruments that
bridge art and technology, poetry and science, yesterday, today
and tomorrow.
For the Namiki Collections,
skilled Japanese artisans use the finest materials to create a
line of writing instruments that look beautiful and perform
flawlessly. We introduce Maki-e lacquering, a
centuries-old technique in which multi-layered patterns are
drawn on the barrel and cap with urushi - sap
from Japanese lacquer trees. The hand-painted designs richly
interpret scenes of nature in precious metals and lavishly
colored pigments.
Other products feature 18 karat
gold, sterling silver, lacquer or celluloid finishes, executed
in styles ranging from the enduring beauty of the Emperor
Collection to the intricate designs of the Yukari
Collection.
However, superior craftsmanship
is just the beginning. For as beautiful as they are, Namiki
writing instruments are designed to be used. A precision nib
and superior ink and lead delivery systems ensure an
exceptionally smooth stroke and clean line. In every aspect,
Namiki redefines quality in premium writing
instruments.
