Description

[NO RESERVE] NAMIKI X DUNHILL | 'URAJIRO' FERN, A LIMITED EDITION RADEN, TOGIDASHI-TAKA MAKI-E AND LACQUER FOUNTAIN PEN, BY GRAND MASTER ARTISAN KYUSAI YOSHIDA, CIRCA 1999 Model: 'Urajiro' Fern, Limited No. 114/200 Cap/Barrel/Clip: Black urushi cap and barrel with gold-coloured maki-e lacquer of 'Fern Motif' design from 1930's original, gold clip with 'Dunhill' engraved logo Nib: 18k gold, Size - M Length: 14.2cm Accompaniments: Maker's limited edition presentation box, standard box, certificate, booklets and crystal inkwell Namiki x Dunhill | 'Urajiro' Fern 裏白蕨，限量編號114/200，限量螺鈿、研出蒔繪及漆藝鋼筆，由前國光會首席蒔繪大師吉田久齋(Kyusai Yoshida)繪製，年份約1999。附原廠限量筆盒、筆盒、證書、相關手冊及水晶墨水瓶。 Footnotes: NO RESERVE 不設底價 The Namiki Urajiro Fern Limited Edition Fountain Pen is a sublime fusion of Japanese artistry and cultural symbolism. Limited to just 200 pieces worldwide, this exquisite writing instrument is crafted using the ancient Maki-e lacquer technique, requiring over three months and up to eighty meticulous processes to complete. Inspired by the Urajiro fern, an evergreen plant revered in Japan for its delicate beauty and association with good fortune, the pen's design evokes the elegance of nature pared down to its spiritual essence. The fern's split leaves, resembling outstretched wings, are rendered with breathtaking detail, while the lacquer finish reflects the plant's enduring qualities. Housed in a classic Yukari-style ebonite body, the pen features an 18K gold nib, hand-ground and tipped with iridium from Hokkaido, ensuring a writing experience as refined as its appearance. Each pen bears the signature of the Maki-e artist, in the case of the 'Urajiro' it is crafted by Master artisan Kyusai Yoshida, affirming its status as a true work of art. Whether displayed or used, the Urajiro Fern pen is a celebration of nature, tradition, and craftsmanship, an heirloom for those who appreciate the soul of Japanese fine writing.
