Took some quick shots of the Namiki Yukari chinkin (very low production annually) at a local pen gathering last weekend and I must say that the pens are amazing!

And oh yes... something from the other end of the spectrum...

That is some amazingly detailed art! Beautiful and thanks for sharing.

Beautiful craftsmanship. There are certainly few companies that put this much effort into their products.

Great photos as usual, Kelvin! And we had a tonne of fun at the gathering. Hopefully more will turn up for the future ones!


raf.

Beautiful! And, I'm sure, horrifyingly expensive. But definitely beautiful.

Lovely photos of a lovely pen. Thanks for sharing them with us - makes me wish I was in Malaysia now, enjoying the great food there. Syabas!

Beautiful, beautiful. Lovely photos!
Thanks!

Thanks all... the pics dont do the pens justice... they have a very '3d' look to them!

KRZ want too!

Awesome! Does anyone know how the quality of chinkin of Namiki compare to that of Nakaya and Danitrio? For some time you could watch a video of making chinkin on the website of Worldux, but I can't find that video no more. Are prices available for these pens (just so that I know I'd better save pictures...)? Ruud

i cant compare the quality as i've not seen the ones from nakaya or dani but i must say that the namiki one is impeccable. the pictures look so alive and flawless. prices retailing around >USD3000
