An art pen with quiet poise and enduring craft

The Namiki Chinkin Yukari Royale Fountain Pen - Cat brings the serenity of a watchful feline to Namiki's celebrated Yukari Royale format. Against a deep black urushi canvas, fine chisel work catches the light with warm gold, tracing whiskers, fur, and a gentle silhouette with remarkable restraint. It is a contemplative composition, executed in a technique that rewards close study in the hand and on the page.

Craftsmanship and Design

Chinkin is a traditional gold-inlaid engraving method within the Japanese lacquer arts. Using specialized chisels, the artisan incises minute lines and points into layers of hardened urushi, then charges those cuts with lacquer and metallic powder so the design becomes permanently embedded in relief. The result is tactile and luminous: a pattern that will not wear off because it lives within the lacquer itself. On this Yukari Royale, the motif of a cat is rendered with controlled linework that suggests motion and softness without excess, allowing the roiro-black urushi to share the stage with the gold inlay.

The pen's form is built around Namiki's ebonite core, hand-lacquered in multiple coats of urushi to achieve a glossy, mirror-like depth. Proportions are generous yet balanced, with understated gold-finished appointments and Namiki's dignified clip. The larger Yukari Royale silhouette offers a purposeful canvas for the chinkin technique while remaining refined enough for daily carry.

Writing Experience

At the heart of the Namiki Chinkin Yukari Royale fountain pen is an 18k gold nib in Namiki's large No. 20 size, tuned for a naturally smooth glide and a touch of responsive softness. It delivers steady ink flow with the quiet confidence that has made Pilot and Namiki nibs trusted by long-form writers and collectors alike. The section geometry encourages a relaxed grip, while the pen's mass is centered for comfortable sessions unposted; posting is possible for those who prefer additional length.

The cartridge/converter filling system offers practical flexibility. Pair the pen with Pilot proprietary cartridges for convenience, or a compatible converter for bottled inks to suit your journaling, sketching, or correspondence. The well-sealed cap helps maintain a ready-to-write start, protecting both the nib and the urushi finish when stored.

Heritage and Provenance

Since 1925, Namiki has married urushi artistry with precision Japanese penmaking, building a lineage that spans studio craft and engineering discipline. Chinkin sits alongside maki-e within this tradition, a discipline that demands patience, blade control, and an intimate understanding of lacquer's behavior. Each engraved stroke is final; there is no repainting a line cut into urushi. That sense of decisiveness is evident here, where the cat motif finds life in economy and detail rather than ornament for its own sake.

For collectors, the Yukari Royale occupies a sweet spot: a substantial writing instrument that also provides an expressive surface for Namiki's ateliers. The chinkin execution emphasizes durability in daily use while preserving the nuance of handwork that makes each example unique.

Great looking Blazer and not too heavy for Spring/Summer/Fall wear
Size: X-Large, Color: Khaki, Size: X-Large, Color: Khaki
This is a great looking light to mid-weight blazer. I love the quality and stitching of this blazer which can't be beat for this price. The color is spot on as shown on Amazon, what you see is what you get. The cut fits me perfectly and I like the way it feels when wearing it. There is a faux pocket square in white in the breast pocket, which I am unsure if it is removeable. Either way still looks great and I would definitely recommend. The only - is that if it gets a wrinkle, it is very hard to get it out. You need to steam it for a long time before the wrinkle is removed.
