The Namiki Emperor Peony fountain pen emulates wealth, beauty, and prosperity through the peony, a traditional motif in fine Japanese art. Namiki employs the revered Chinkin technique, where the artist carves different motifs on the lacquered surface of the fountain pen, then covers them with gold shavings and powder. The delicate designs are enhanced by the relief of the engraving, giving them an unparalleled expressive strength.
