Inspired by the Japanese Zodiac, Namiki’s "Snake" fountain pen and ink set was inspired by traditional Japanese painter, Riki Nakamachi’s, whose original sketches were brought to life using the Togidashi-Maki-e technique. This involves using a thin brush to paint motifs onto a surface, then dusting gold powder onto the lacquer.

Material: lacquer and 18ct gold dust
Country of origin: Japan
Dimensions: 14.1cm (h) x 1.7cm (d) / 5.5" (h) x 0.7" (d)
Colour: black

For nearly a century, Namiki has perfected its specialised, globally-admired Maki-e fountain pens, which are individually handmade by “Kokkokai” - a talented group of Maki-e artisans which assembled in 1931. Using traditional Japanese craftsmanship and age-old techniques such as lacquer work, each writing tool is hand-finished with sprinklings of gold, silver and shells using a Kebo brush.
