The Namiki Yukari Maki-e Fountain Pen - Milky Way brings the quiet drama of a starlit sky to hand. Layers of urushi lacquer form a deep black canvas, animated by shimmering raden shell that arcs across the surface like a river of light. Each fragment is individually set and lacquered, so the scene reveals new depths as it catches and releases light with movement.

Craftsmanship & Design

Created in Japan by Namiki, Pilot's premier maki-e atelier, the Milky Way design blends traditional lacquer artistry with precise modern finishing. Fine metallic powders and natural shell inlay are suspended within urushi, then polished to a seamless gloss that protects the artwork and highlights its dimensional play. The Yukari size offers a refined profile with a practical clip, striking a thoughtful balance between daily usability and collectible art.

Writing Experience

An in-house 18k gold nib delivers the poised, glassy smoothness that has made Namiki a reference among enthusiasts. Tuned for consistent ink flow and gentle feedback, it invites long writing sessions without fatigue. The pen fills via Pilot's cartridge or converter system for reliable, low-maintenance performance, making the Milky Way as dependable as it is visually arresting.

Heritage

Since the early 20th century, Namiki has advanced the union of urushi art and precision penmaking, working with master lacquer artisans in Japan to preserve and evolve time-honored techniques. The Yukari collection continues that legacy, presenting museum-grade craftsmanship in a form that feels at home in everyday writing.

Stunning pen and writes flawlessly

I have been eyeing this pen for years now. Fortunately, I was able to get one at The Empire State Pen show. It’s great seeing Chris of Truphae at pen shows. He’s always a pleasure to deal with and speak to.
