Namiki Capless Raden Galaxy Fountain Pen

This exquisite fountain pen showcases the breathtaking Raden technique, a traditional Japanese decorative art form. Hundreds of tiny, multicolored abalone shell fragments are meticulously cut and hand-laid onto the pen's barrel, creating a shimmering, celestial pattern that evokes the vastness of a galaxy. These iridescent pieces sparkle brilliantly against the deep, rich backdrop of multiple layers of Urushi lacquer, which are hand-applied and polished with charcoal after each coat. A special oil-free topcoat provides a brilliant shine and a luxuriously smooth texture. This intricate and time-consuming process highlights Namiki's unwavering commitment to craftsmanship.

At its core, the pen features the world-renowned Pilot Capless (Vanishing Point) retractable nib mechanism, a true innovation first introduced in 1963. With a simple, satisfying push of the button located at the cap end, the 18-karat gold nib smoothly extends for writing and retracts for secure storage. When retracted, an ingenious airtight seal encases the nib, preventing the ink from drying out – a testament to its precision engineering and reliability.
