ABOUT THE PEN:

The Namiki Yukari Royale Urushi Fountain Pen in Vermilion is a statement of Japanese craftsmanship at its highest level. Handcrafted from ebonite and finished with multiple layers of traditional urushi lacquer, the pen achieves a depth of color and warmth that cannot be replicated by modern industrial finishes. The vermilion red is vivid yet refined, changing subtly with the light and developing character over time as the urushi matures.

At the heart of the pen is Namiki’s large 18k gold nib, renowned for its balance, smoothness, and controlled ink flow. It offers a writing experience that feels deliberate and calm—responsive without being aggressive, expressive without demanding effort. The size of the Yukari Royale provides presence in the hand while remaining perfectly balanced for extended writing sessions.

More than a writing instrument, this pen is a cultural object. It reflects centuries of Japanese lacquer tradition, patience, and respect for materials. The Namiki Yukari Royale is not designed to impress instantly—it is designed to endure, to age gracefully, and to become deeply personal to its owner over years of use.
