Works of Art from Lange and Namiki
Edwin's spectacular photos of Namiki fountain pens inspired me to try my hand at capturing the beauty of some of the pens in own collection. The watches of course need no introduction for folks in this forum. The pen paired with my RG Dato is the Namiki Chinkin Owl. The chinkin technique involves carving a very fine design into the lacquer and then laying in gold powder which is then secured with further coatings of lacquer. Paired with the PT 1815 Moon in the other photo is a Namiki Nightline which illustrates the Raden technique of lacquer art in which thin sections of mother of pearl are inlaid in the lacquer.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh
that is just beautiful. Both make a great couple, but my favorite would be the "Moon" with the "Nightline". Just one petition: Is it possible to do pictures without foam? I know it is picky - sorry. Thanks for sharing Oliver
I have to agree with Oliver: Aaaaaaaarhg!
You killed me,rld... Ok, the Dato is cool, but we see a lot of pics of it... BUT the 1815 Moonphase...WOWOW! Your pics are beautiful, and the association with these precious Namiki is judicious. More pics of the 1815 Moonphase, please!!! Best. Nicolas

have seen a Chinkin series Namiki pen in my life - from the pictures it looks like creating such a pen must take MONTHS. Enjoy! Edwin
