Namiki Emperor Blooming Flowers 2025 limited edition

This model brings to life a Japanese idiom that compares varied talents and ideas to blooming flowers. Since the creation of the world, diversity has been a treasure, and the beauty of nature is its perfect representation. Beyond a pen, this artistic work reveals ‘flowers blooming in profusion’ through 11 popular varieties in Asia: each unique and symbolizing a season. The spring flowers include the Cherry Blossom , the Violet, and the Wisteria, while summer is dedicated to the Clematis, the Lily, and the Hydrangea. Autumn is illustrated by the Dianthus, the Bellflower, and the Chrysanthemum, and winter by the Plum Blossom and the Peony. Each flower is created using different Maki-e techniques and coloured Urushi lacquer, highlighting their uniqueness. The final composition evokes a society that values individuality while promoting mutual respect, thus reinforcing the message of the idiom. Finally, the earth and water, essential to life, are magnified with precious powders of gold, silver, and raden. A firework of colours, techniques, and poetry on this sublime limited edition Emperor fountain pen for the end of this year, where the expression of craftsmanship, art, writing, and Japanese culture forms a unique masterpiece
