The lacquered main design is filled in with the carefully sprinkled gold and silver powders, and then several additional layers of lacquer are applied. Once these layers harden, the surface is polished many times. A finished product can take up to 3 months, and some of the pieces go through the repetitive lacquer-drawing-sprinkling-polishing process up to 130 times. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e#10 18k gold nib\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCON-70 converter and spare cartridge included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComes in a velvet-lined wooden box with Namiki branding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFor a close-up and 360-degree view of the motif, feel free to refer to its listing on Pilot-Namiki's website \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.pilot-namiki.com\/en\/collection\/yukari\/firefly-raden\/\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLifetime warranty under Pilot \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eMore \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/yosekastationery.mom\/collections\/namiki\"\u003ePilot\/Namiki Fountain Pens\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eM\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eore from the \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca data-mce-fragment=\"1\" href=\"https:\/\/yosekastationery.mom\/collections\/pilot-namiki-yukari-fountain-pens\" data-mce-href=\"https:\/\/yosekastationery.mom\/collections\/pilot-namiki-yukari-fountain-pens\"\u003eNamiki Yukari Collection\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Pilot","offers":[{"title":"Fine","offer_id":44085684797653,"sku":".GP\/60406","price":2600.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Medium","offer_id":44085684830421,"sku":".GP\/60506","price":2600.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Broad","offer_id":44085684863189,"sku":".GP\/16273","price":2600.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1717\/0621\/products\/DSC_4306_818ec476-d831-4c33-8967-b0a062448551.jpg?v=1680640332","url":"https:\/\/yosekastationery.mom\/products\/pilot-namiki-yukari-maki-e-fountain-pen-firefly","provider":"Yoseka Stationery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
