Namiki Yukari Fountain Pen - Bush Clover (Limited Edition)

The Bush Clover plant is one of the seven flowers of autumn and is referenced in over one hundred poems in the oldest surviving book of Japanese poetry, dating back to the later 7th century. The Hagi (萩) often symbolizes the deep contemplation that arises from gentle, assuming beauty and is believed to have the power of exorcising evil spirits. It is also used in various ways in the five seasonal imperial ceremonies.

A masterpiece designed by the renowned Kokkokai group. The pen's barrel features traditional maki-e urushi lacquer work with gold dust sprinkled using the togidashi polishing technique, creating a stunning depiction of the delicate and modest flowers of the Bush Clover plant. With its unique design and limited availability, the Namiki Yukari Bush Clover fountain pen is an excellent addition to any collector's portfolio.
