Namiki 2024 Limited Edition Yukari – Bumblebee (丸花蜂) – 18k Broad Nib
exquisitely decorated with a depiction of bumblebees collecting nectar, employing the technique of Hira
Maki-e (Flat Maki-e) to capture pollen adorning their wings and body. The imagery of bumblebees fluttering around
Blue Salvias utilizes a combination of Togidashi Maki-e (Burnished Maki-e), Raden (Mother-of-Pearl), and gold powder
to convey movement and light. Sporting a classic cigar-shaped body, the pen is further enhanced by a #10 18-karat
gold nib, plated with rhodium accents to evoke the majestic silhouette of Mount Fuji. Available in Broad, catering to diverse writing preferences and styles. Enclosed in a box adorned with Hakone
marquetry, an art form that mimics the honeycomb's intricate patterns using small pieces of variously hued woods,
the Bumblebee is a testament to the hope that each holder’s days are filled with love.
