The Namiki Murasaki Shikibu Emperor Fountain Pen pays special tribute to Murasaki Shikibu (紫 式部 c. 973 or 978 – c. 1014 or 1031) who was a Japanese novelist, poet and lady-in-waiting at the Imperial Court during the Heian Era.

Gold dusts were sprinkled against the black background and the pen clip to highlight the kimono lady who is enhanced with togidashi taka maki-e.
