The Yukari Collection vividly expresses the nature of the four seasons, which the Japanese have been familiar with since ancient times,
by combining designs with various techniques such as Togidashi-Taka Maki-e (Burnished-Raised Maki-e) and Raden (Mother-of-Pearl).
While being a size that can be carried and used every day, it harbors Japanese beauty down to the finest detail.
The Yukari Collection transforms traditional scenes from nature into striking fantasies.
The Cormorant, Tropical Fish, Wave & Plover, Pigeon & Persimmon, Sweet Flag & Moon, Flower Fence, Morning Glory and Apricot Tree & Brush Warbler designs feature the beauty of Togidashi and Taka Maki-e in intricate raised relief form.
A must for fountain pen enthusiasts.
