Overview of the Panda

Pandas. Shy and gentle. An international symbol of conservation. With deep regard for the well being and preservation of this magnificent, highly endangered creature, Namiki celebrates its life with a stunning work of art"The Panda Limited Edition fountain pen". Among the most popular animals in the world, Pandas are revered as a national treasure by the government of China. Yet, the giant panda is the second most endangered species on the planet. They are severely threatened by poaching and the erosion of their habitat and bamboo food supply. 
Now, through the efforts of groups like the San Diego Zoo’s Center for Reproduction of Endangered Species (CRES), programs to save the panda are in place around the globe. Namiki is supporting these efforts through the production and sale of The Panda Limited Edition, an exquisite hand-painted fountain pen created using traditional Japanese Maki-e techniques. 

Dedicated to a limited, single edition of 700 pieces, The Panda is created entirely by hand and signed by a master Maki-e artist. While it is unquestionably a work of art, The Panda is designed for use. 

A precision 18 karat gold nib and superior ink delivery system ensure an exceptionally smooth stroke and clean line. In every respect, The Panda Limited Edition fountain pen from Namiki represents superior quality. 

Acquiring The Panda Limited Edition fountain pen will ultimately help save the endangered panda. Namiki is donating a portion of the proceeds to the San Diego Zoo’s CRES program. Donation funds will be used for conservation efforts, scientific research, captive propagation and management initiatives to help save the panda. 

It is our hope that this pen will be to its owner a treasured reminder of the beauty.
