The symbolism of bamboo is strong and positive, hence the Japanese proverb \"The bamboo that bends is stronger than the oak that resists.\" Represented in pairs, it doubles the luck factor. The sparrow, considered a songbird, brings good times with family or friends. A sparrow also is used in Japanese folklore and artwork to denote a gentle natured, intellectual person. The renowned artisan Yasuji Sumi used the unique Chinkin technique to create this design. Remarkable skill and impeccable craftsmanship bring the sparrow and bamboo to life through the complex patterns of carved dots and lines that are illuminated with gold powder. \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNamiki Chinkin Bamboo and Sparrow matches the size of the pens in Namiki's \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/yosekastationery.mom\/collections\/pilot-namiki-yukari-fountain-pens\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/yosekastationery.mom\/collections\/pilot-namiki-yukari-fountain-pens\"\u003eYukari Collection\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e but with a flat-top silhouette instead of rounded ends; it also features a size No.10 18k gold nib.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe Chinkin Collection is made up of fountain pens which use “Chinkin (Gold Inlay)”, one of lacquer ware techniques that Japan boasts to the world on a par with Maki-e. Motifs are carved into the lacquered surface with special chisels, and after inlaying lacquer in the grooves, placing gold leaves and gold powder gives the pattern expression. The delicate and fine depiction and three-dimensional aspect overflowing with a strong power of expression are the special characteristics of this collection. Since Chinkin is a carving technique, there is no room for mistakes. Every single carve is a true challenge in the sense of the word.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\u003c\/ol\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRelease Date: 2022\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e#10 18K Gold nib\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComes with CON-70 and 6 spare black cartridges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible cartridges can be found here:\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/yosekastationery.mom\/collections\/namiki\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/yosekastationery.mom\/collections\/namiki\"\u003ePilot\/Namiki Fountain Pens\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMore from the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/yosekastationery.mom\/collections\/pilot-namiki-chinkin-fountain-pens\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/yosekastationery.mom\/collections\/pilot-namiki-chinkin-fountain-pens\"\u003eNamiki Chinkin Collection\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRefunds are not accepted on this pen once it has been used with ink.
