NAMIKI YUKARI ROYAL CHINKIN CAT & ROOSTER FOUNTAIN PEN



Namiki launched two Yukari Royal chinkin fountain pens this month (March 2016).

These two chinkin fountain pens are crafted by the same artisan, Yasuji Sumi-san, who crafted the Emperor chinkin Tiger and Peony.


The cat is a very popular theme for chinkin artisan. Sailor released 3 chinkin fountain pens in limited edition back in 2009.

The Namiki chinkin cat uses the same technique as the Chinkin Tiger and Peony - Tenbori (also know as the dot carving technique)

The Namiki Yukari Royale Chinkin is now available locally in Singapore.
