Namiki AYA Fountain Pen – Akatsuki Daybreak

SPECIAL ORDER – PLEASE CONTACT US FOR AVAILABILITY & SHIPPING DATES

At the start of the 20th century, a fountain pen utilising the Japanese traditional art of “Maki-e” was born. The strong and attractive body with a lacquer finish, and the fine and elegant design by the craftsmen are highly acclaimed around the world, and those skills and spirit have been passed down to the world’s most famous name in Maki-e fountain pens – Namiki.

The Namiki AYA fountain pen has a subtle Maki-e finish and is signed by the Kokkokai group of craftsmen. In Japanese, the word “AYA” means coloured light. Abstract patterns that represent an enchanting world, imbued with poetry and that will feed the imagination. Four finishes are available in the AYA series and each fountain pen is enhanced with a coloured lacquer and a pattern in Togidashi maki-e, Raden, gold or silver powder.

• Akatsuki Daybreak has a vermillion base and represents the dark and mysterious hour of the day, just before the sun rises. This word also means the fulfilment of a wish.
