Description

BRAND NEW NAMIKI YUKARI HUMMINGBIRD (COLIBRI) FOUNTAIN PEN PRODUCED IN 2000

IN ORIGINAL WOODEN BOX WITH ALL PROPER PAPERWORK

THE YUKARI COLLECTION VIVIDLY EXPRESSES THE NATURE OF THE FOUR SEASONS, WHICH THE JAPANESE HAVE BEEN FAMILIAR WITH SINCE ANCIENT TIMES, BY COMBINING DESIGNS WITH VARIOUS TECHNIQUES SUCH AS TOGIDASHI-TAKA MAKI-E (BURNISHED-RAISED MAKI-E) AND RADEN (MOTHER-OF-PEARL). WHILE BEING A SIZE THAT CAN BE CARRIED AND USED EVERY DAY, IT HARBORS JAPANESE BEAUTY DOWN TO THE FINEST DETAIL. HUMMINGBIRDS ARE OFTEN SEEN AS A SYMBOL OF LOVE, JOY AND BEAUTY. THEY ARE KNOWN TO HARVEST NECTAR FROM HIBISCUS FLOWER, A TROPICAL FLOWER WHICH ARE RARELY DEPICTED IN JAPANESE DESIGNS.

CREATED BY NAMIKI ARTISAN MASTER SEIKI CHIDA, THIS PEN COMBINES THE BEST QUALITIES OF HIRA, TOGIDASHI AND TAKAMAKI-E TECHNIQUES. ON THIS NAMIKI YUKARI HUMMING BIRD FOUNTAIN PEN, THE CLARITY OF THE FEATHERS ARE EVIDENT WITH THE TOGIDASHI AND TAKA MAKI-E. DELICATE GOLD POWDER IS SCATTERED ON THE BLACK BACKGROUND TO ENHANCE THE BEAUTY OF THIS VIBRANT BIRD. THE MOTHER-OF-PEARL RADEN  SHIMMERS BEHIND THE HIBISCUS, AND THE HUMMINGBIRD CHANGES COLOR DEPENDING ON THE ANGLE OF VIEWING. COLOURED LACQUER TOGETHER WITH TRACES OF ABALONE SHELLS RADEN  ARE ALSO SPRINKLED ON THE BARREL TO ENRICH THE VIBRANCY OF THE TROPICAL BIRD.
