NAMIKI A.D.2000, Technology Inherits Tradition and Exquisite Beauty.

NAMIKI A.D.2000 is a special limited-edition fountain pen harmonizing excellent technology with a wonderful design. This pen has been officially approved by the Central Committee of the Great Jubilee A.D.2000.

The Vatican City was created as a result of the Lateran Treaty signed between the Vatican Council and the Italian Government on February II, 1929, and is the smallest independent state.

The largest church in the world is found within the Vatican City, along with museums housing countless outstanding works of art and collections considered to be the greatest treasure of mankind.

The Greek cross is inscribed in a circular blue field that symbolizes the universe and the need for solidarity.

The cross sustains and upholds humanity gathered in the continents represented by the five doves. The cross is the same color as the doves, signifying the Incarnation whereby God enters into human history and redeems it. The light that comes from the center of the design represent Christ, who is the light of the world.

The colors of the logo remind us that joy and peace are an integral part of the Jubilee celebration.

The lettering "IUBILAEUM A.D.2000" on the outer edge of the circle means "Year 2000 Jubilee". "Christus Heri Hodie Semper" on the inside of the circle says, "Christ yesterday, today and forever".

The elegant shape of the cap emulates the magnificent dome of the Vatican City's -major landmark, San Pietro.

An emblem featuring the motif of the Commemorative mark of the Central Committee of the Great Jubilee A.D.2000 shines at the center of the pen clip, and engraved colored lettering A.D.2000 IUBILAEUM (God's year 2000 Jubilee) highlights the entire design.

On the body's three decorative rings, an acanthus pattern, which adorns the grand central door of the Basilica di San Pietro, is expressed by the best precision-casting technology to make this product even more precious.

Mother-of-pearl inlay is extensively used on the barrel; the entire shaft is wrapped in mother-of-pearl inlay using the expertise in lacquer technology to create an elegant and delicate finish. A.D.2000 is engraved on the smooth pen nib, which is integrated with the shaft. The serial number of each fountain pen is printed on the end plug to indicate that the pen is a special limited-edition product.
