NAMIKI RADEN WATER SURFACE CAPLESS FOUNTAIN PEN
NAMIKI RADEN WATER SURFACE CAPLESS FOUNTAIN PEN
The ultimate version of Pilot's Capless fountain pen is brought to you by Namiki, whose pens are made with the most extraordinary attention to detail.
They are created by highly-skilled craftsmen using ancient techniques, and result in truly beautiful pieces of work. And because they are pens, they make an everyday act - in this case, writing - a real pleasure.
The designs are created using the traditional Japanese raden technique whereby hundreds of tiny multi-coloured fragments of shell from creatures such as abalone, horseshoe and newt crabs are applied to the barrel, covered with 10 layers of hand-applied lacquer and then polished to perfection.
The designers form an exclusive group of artists - the Kokkokai, or 'Group of the Nation's Light' - who spend many years perfecting their particular technique - and they concentrate on only one technique in their lifetime. Each design is incredibly detailed.
18 carat gold retractable nib. Supplied in a luxury wooden gift box with a box of ink cartridges and a converter for use with bottled ink.
