Namiki! Namiki!

[Mkim]

What a beauty!

So that's one Namiki hiding...where are the others?

 

We need more Namiki fans out here on FPN

[Readymade]

You mean we need more Namiki owners who're willing to share pics of their collections I think there're plenty of us fans

I do have a Falcon, and I like it very much. But I have just the one.

 

It's good, it's good!

So cute! The owl's expression reminds me of Tard the grumpy cat.

What's kind of funny is that the maki-e kanji on my Nakaya Long Piccolo is fukurou. :-)

 

That is funny. Why does it say 'owl' on the Nakaya??

I wanted a kanji on the pen, and I decided on fukurou. I like owls.

Owls are definitely cool. I like owls too.

I also have a Namiki LE maki-e owl and will take some pictures and make it the subject of my next post.

I like your owls!

 

When I passed through Minneapolis last year, I stopped by Patina (a store) and saw these owls:

I didn't buy any, cos I couldn't decide which color I liked best. Heh.

a work of art. thank you for sharing!

[bobaroo]

That is absolute quality, very beautiful and practical piece of art.

The owl design looks really elegant.

Whenever I consider my last-pen-to-buy, I come to this thread, and just look at photos of Chinkin Owl for minutes.

 

I absolutely cannot use Namiki no 50 nibs comfortably, because both nibs and their pens are long and thick to write for my average sized hands (as if this is the only reason I don't buy emperor or chinkin series, but not the 5000 USD price).

 

But this one should be resting on a mid-shelf of library in man's room. I'd like to sit at my working desk and watch the pen at library, observe all the details of owl's skin, maybe catch each other's eyes (owl and me i mean)

 

Now if this is not romanticism, I don't know what is...
