Namiki Emperor Kylin Fountain Pen

A Masterpiece of Maki-e Artistry

Experience the pinnacle of Japanese craftsmanship with the Namiki Emperor Kylin Fountain Pen. This exquisite pen showcases the breathtaking artistry of Togidashi-Taka Maki-e, a complex lacquer technique that elevates writing to an art form.

The Majestic Kylin

The pen's design features the mythical Kylin, a creature symbolizing prosperity and good fortune in East Asian culture. Master artisan Masaru has meticulously rendered the Kylin using Togidashi-Taka Maki-e, creating a three-dimensional effect that brings the creature to life.

Technique: Togidashi-Taka Maki-e

This intricate technique involves layering lacquer and powdered metal (gold, silver, etc.) to create a raised design. The surface is then polished (Togidashi) to reveal the underlying layers, resulting in a stunning depth and texture. The addition of Taka Maki-e (raised lacquer) further enhances the three-dimensional quality of the artwork.
