The Namiki Aya fountain pen collection is the newest maki-e model from Namiki, with designs lacquered by the highly revered Kokkokai group. The barrel artwork was designed using traditional maki-e urushi lacquer work and finished with a sprinkling of gold and silver dust using the togidashi polishing technique. Each pen features different colored urushi lacquer to create the rich hues of nature.

Hayate (Gale): a powerful gust of wind. This Japanese word is also used to express something that is pure and lively. The black urushi lacquer is finished with silver-round powders that are applied in various intensities to express the wind. The design symbolizes the appearance of majestic winds.

The Namiki Aya Collection has a classical vest-type body style and is enhanced with an oversized No. 30 two-tone 18k gold nib featuring the iconic silhouette of Mount Fuji, available in Fine Medium, Medium, or Broad nib sizes. The Aya fountain pen collection offers effortless, smooth writing and is designed to delight the fountain pen collector.

This classical fountain pen is refillable for continued use with a Pilot ink cartridge or Pilot’s CON-70 converter, both of which are included, and arrives packaged in a beautiful Namiki wooden giftbox.
