Namiki – Yukari Royale Maki-e Noshi Bundle
Deeply rooted in Japanese culture, the decorative element known as “noshi” holds great significance when attached to gifts. Traditionally, it accompanies celebratory occasions such as weddings, births, graduations, and promotions, serving as a symbol of good fortune. However, it is important to note that noshi is never utilized in funeral or burial ceremonies. Historically, these bundles were crafted using long, slender strips of dried abalone.
Part of the Yukari Royale Series, the Namiki Tabane-noshi (Noshi Bundle) fountain pen features a slightly larger profile compared to the Yukari.
The Tabane-noshi, symbolizing good fortune, showcases an exquisite design that gracefully captures the essence of this ancient tradition. Delicately portrayed are waves of vibrant, multi-colored Noshi, bound together and elegantly unfurling, creating a truly captivating motif.
Namiki Maki-e fountain pens embody the epitome of skill and spirit passed down through generations, showcasing the rich heritage of PILOT. Throughout the years and into the present day, they have consistently ranked among the top brands in Maki-e fountain pens, effectively conveying the essence of Japanese traditional culture.
The creation of a stunning Maki-e piece involves a meticulous process of lacquering, drawing, sprinkling, and polishing. These four intricate steps are repeated numerous times to achieve a beautiful and refined result. The entire journey from start to finish spans over three months, with some Maki-e fountain pens undergoing the process as many as 130 times, exemplifying the extraordinary dedication and craftsmanship involved.
