Using the traditional Maki-e techniques, Togidashi Maki-e, or burnished-raised maki-e, and Raden, the Yukari collection within Pilot Namiki pens are inspired by the beauty of the four seasons. \u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe making of a Maki-e piece is an extremely labor- and time-intensive process involving a repetitive series of applying layers of lacquer, drawing the design outline, sprinkling gold and silver powders to fill in the designs, and polishing to achieve a lustrous surface. 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 black cartridge included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBottle of Namiki blue ink 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\/shooting-star-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 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\"\u003eNamiki Yukari Collection\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRefunds are not accepted on this pen once it has been used with ink.
