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.
For the collector and
connoisseur, Namiki is a revelation. For the
valued client, friend or family member, it will
be the gift of a lifetime. For every creative
endeavor, Namiki is the ultimate writing tool.
