Probably one of the most detailed and intricate designs from Namiki, the Yukari Royale Night Scene of Pavilion fountain pen was said to have been inspired by a haiku written by Yamaguchi Sodo (1642-1716), which was a reflection on finding comfort in paradoxes anchored in the exploration of Zen. 

Spring, in my hut 
There is nothing 
There is everything 

Created by famous lacquer craftsman Yutaka Sato of the Kokkokai artists’ collective, it features a pavilion at night against trees and mountains. The design is serene and mysterious, with the golden powder on the cap’s tip seemingly recreating moonlight on a quiet night and adding the illusion of depth to the rest of the scene. It was created using the togadashi-taka (burnished-raised) maki-e technique, only used on top-tier Namiki pens. It requires a lot of time and skill, but the result is a three-dimensional visual experience worth the wait.
