In 1925 the relatively new Japanese firm, Namiki Manufacturing Co. Ltd. launched a bold new art form - lacquered pens. By applying the centuries-old lacquer technique, makie (sprinkled picture using metal or colored powder) to their pen line, the Tokyo-based manufacturer caused a stir within the writing instrument industry. With offices abroad, including London, and an ongoing advertising campaign, the pens were soon retailing in some of the world's leading stores, including Alfred Dunhill Ltd. which eventually became its worldwide distributor. Only 2,000 hand numbered copied of Namiki: The Art of Japanese Lacquer Pens have been printed and only a few copies remain. 160 pages CALL FOR SPECIAL PRICE |
