Emperor size traditional box

 

The fountain pens in the Emperor collection by Namiki are delicate works of art, signed by their author, whose motif, borrowed from the symbols of Japanese tradition, has been engraved free-hand on copper-plate.

 

Overview of the Pavillion

 

Each of the Emperors fountain pens requires three months and sometimes more of expert, loving and minute craftsmanship. 

 

Overview with the cap removed

 

Such is the time that must be devoted to bringing to perfection the ornamental grace, true to the Maki-e craft, mingling polychromatic lacquers and gold dust.

 

Beautiful combination of red colour and gold dust against the lacquer

The Maki-e, a decorating technique patiently refined by Nipponese artists over the centuries, came to full bloom in the 14th and 15th centuries A. D., when, as it was highly sought by the aristocracy, it came to enrich the looks of the implements used in the tea ceremony.

Maki-e is part and parcel of the cultural heritage of old Japan. It involves no less than thirty some different processes, that concur in decors of utmost subtlety and unrivalled luxury.
