Written by Catherine on Wednesday 16 August 2023 in Japanese pens

It is here ... almost the latest Namiki Limited Edition White Rabbit 2023! Masahiro Yamada decided to stage the legend of the white rabbit of Inaba and the deity Okuninushi on a background of lacquer and platinum powder. Famous for his bravery and courage, the white rabbit's animal shell hid the form of a God: a God of longevity thanks to his incredible survivability in the face of life's obstacles. One hundred pieces are made for the world and twenty of them will land in Europe. Expected October '23.

Pelikan Souverän M1000 Red Infinity limited edition

Written by Catherine on Wednesday 21 June 2023 in Japanese pens

The Pelikan Souverän M1000 Red Infinity limited edition is the next pen in the raden saga. It is made with particles from the Australian abalone shell, and the greenish hues used for this precious fountain pen are scarce. The surface of the M1000 is painted in a red urushi coating and sprinkled with silver powder to give it a sparkling appearance. The rectangular abalone stripes are fixed to the cap and barrel. Finally, after months of elaborate work, the artist signs each fountain pen using the highly valued Maki-e technique.

Sailor Seikkei ebonite limited edition.

Written by Catherine on Wednesday 8 February 2023 in Japanese pens

Sailor Seikei is a limited edition King of Pen made of high-quality Japanese ebonite. Seikei refers to snowy scenery as in the Ukiyo-e print Snowy Muko-Jima of Kawase Hasui. The ebonite of this Seikei is laminated ebonite. A production process in which different colors are built up layer by layer until the desired mass and shape is obtained. Therefore it is possible to observe pin holes or tiny particles in the material, but it adds all to the character of the ebonite.

These pens are very popular due to their exquisite ebonite and unique colors. We only choose the NMF nib sizes since these are more suitable for the western writing style.

 

 

Namiki Yukari Bush Clover Limited Edition 2023

Written by Catherine on Friday 27 January 2023 in Japanese pens

Bush Clover, Hagi in Japanese, has been one of the seven favorite flowers of Autumn since antiquity. It grows naturally in the mountains and decorates the most beautiful Asian gardens of today, such as that of Mukôjima Hyakkaen in Tokyo. It is  appreciated for its gentle, wild, and unpretentious beauty. More than 100 poems are dedicated to it in the oldest book of Japanese poetry, the Man’yoshu, dating from the 7th century.

On the Namiku Yukari Bush Clover Yukari limited edition fountain pen, the shimmering Hagi is illuminated by moonlight and delicately treated in silver Maki-e and red lacquer. In the background, the undergrowth takes the form of magnificent traditional fans realized with a grey lacquer and gold powder.  This fountain pen will be distributed in 300 copies worldwide but only 70 pieces are available for Europe. Expected April '23!
