Product Description
Namiki 2024 Limited Edition Yukari Bumblebee Fountain Pen: a celebration of nature’s symbiosis, embodying the harmonious relationship between flora and fauna. This exquisite pen features a bumblebee, its plump body cloaked in delicate hairs, symbolizing its crucial role in pollination. Revered worldwide, bumblebees are essential to the health of countless plants and flowers, known for their gentle nature and industrious spirit. In the background, the Blue Salvia blooms majestically, with its striking purple-blue petals, the sweet nectar of the Blue Salvia attracts a myriad of pollinators.
The pen is adorned with the intricate design of bumblebees gathering nectar around the Blue Salvia, rendered using the Hira Maki-e (Flat Maki-e) technique, capturing the pollen on their wings and bodies. The dynamic scene of bumblebees around Blue Salvias is brought to life with Togidashi Maki-e (Burnished Maki-e), Raden (Mother-of-Pearl), and gold powder, creating a vivid portrayal of movement and light. Encased in a Hakone marquetry box, an art form that replicates the intricate patterns of a honeycomb using various shades of wood, the Bumblebee pen is a symbol of love and hope, bringing warmth to its owner.
The 2024 Limited Edition Yukari Bumblebee, crafted by the esteemed Kokkokai artisans, represents months of dedicated craftsmanship and passion. With only 300 pieces available worldwide, this limited edition fountain pen is a rare treasure in the realm of fine writing instruments.
