The Palisades name comes from The Pacific Palisades, a region between the Pacific Ocean and the Santa Monica mountain range in Southern California, that offers eye-popping views of its majestic namesake ocean. This collection was created as an homage to this ocean that connects North America to Asia. Each collection is designed in California, and each piece is crafted by skilled artisans in Japan. Palisades Octagonal, is the first foray combining Californian innovation and historical technique.
The pens are precisely, laser-guided machined resulting in precision-cut ebonite barrels which swirl through the body, conjuring an image of undulating currents moving through water. Maki-e artists from Japan hand-layer Urushi lacquer, maki-e patterns, and Raden art to sculpt an homage to the brand’s namesake - the modernity of California with duo-toned color ways, the starry nights glistening above the Pacific, and the vibrant marine ecosystem below ocean waters.
The pens have a unique oblique octagonal shape that is not only an exquisite design, but also one that makes these pens pleasing to hold and write with.

First of all: this pen looks awesome!!!
I fell in love with it and you guys were so kind to send it all the way to Europe.
The nib is wet and smooth and the detail of the birds and flowers is absolutely my taste.
The pictures on this website are good but to see the feathers sparkle in sunlight is something pictures can’t explain. Look for videos on YouTube to get a better image :)
There are two things I would love to be different about this pen:
I wish it would have more layers Urushi on top so the surface itself is more shiny and even and th birds and blossoms are more protected. It would give a more luxurious impression. I am a bit afraid I could wear off the blossoms at the grip section over time.
The second thing is: I found a tiny sort of cracked out and then painted over blossom . There obviously is a missing piece in the surface and it’s painted over so it’s not catching your eye.
Why do I still give 5 stars?
I know the quality of Namiki…it is more perfection so to say and you would not find a pen without a super shiny surface and perfection in the image itself. I assume it’s highly unlikely.
BUT you won’t find a pen with a detailed design like this for this price either!
So if I combine the price and the pen it deserves 5 stars!
