Namiki Capless Raden Water Surface

It’s amazing how the artist collective Kokkokai can create illusions with different materials. For the Namiki Capless Water Surface, raden pieces are embedded close together near the two rhodium-plated rings in the middle of the pen—the farther the lines go, the more broken they become. This gives the effect of a soft light touching the water’s surface at night, whether you’re looking from above or beneath. The irregularities of each small piece convey a sense of movement, as if a gentle breeze were blowing across the surface. With 10 layers of lacquer sealing the pen, you have the illusion of depth. 

We have for sale a pre-owned Namiki Capless Water Surface fountain pen with an 18-karat, rhodium-plated gold nib in F (retractable). We’re offering only the pen, no box or papers.
