The Namiki Yukari 7 Gods 100th Anniversary Fountain Pen - Benzai-Ten honors a century of Namiki artistry with an elegant celebration of Japan's Seven Gods of Good Fortune. Realized in traditional Japanese urushi and maki-e, this Yukari series fountain pen pairs refined symbolism with everyday usability, offering collectors an intimate encounter with hand-lacquered craft on a format designed for regular writing.

Craftsmanship & Design

Built on an ebonite foundation and finished with multiple layers of urushi lacquer, the Benzai-Ten edition showcases the depth, luster, and quiet glow that define Namiki's studio work. Skilled artisans employ time-honored maki-e techniques to create dimensional imagery, using precious metal powders and lacquered detail to convey the auspicious presence of Benzai-Ten, revered in Japan for music, eloquence, and good fortune. The polished roiro finish, subtle transitions of tone, and crisp linework speak to the patience and precision of hand-applied lacquer that is cured and polished in stages for a balanced, jewel-like surface.

The Yukari form is thoughtfully proportioned, with a gently tapered silhouette and understated trim that allows the artwork to lead. Each element is considered to keep the pen visually serene in the hand, while the lacquer layers add a tactile warmth unique to true urushi. As part of Namiki's 100th anniversary commemoratives, this limited anniversary release carries special cultural resonance within the broader Seven Gods theme.

Writing Experience

Namiki pairs its art with one of the most consistently excellent writing systems in modern penmaking. The 18k gold nib in Medium is tuned for smoothness and reliable, moderate flow, allowing inks to shade and sheen beautifully without sacrificing control. The cartridge/converter filling system keeps maintenance straightforward, while the Yukari's weight and balance make extended writing comfortable whether posted or unposted. Lacquer's gentle warmth and the rounded section geometry create an inviting, grounded feel that subtly enhances precision on the page.

Heritage & Provenance

Established in 1918, Namiki is the artisanal arm of Pilot and a standard-bearer for Japanese urushi and maki-e. The 100th anniversary commemorative series pays tribute to that legacy through culturally significant themes and exacting handcraft. The Seven Gods of Good Fortune occupy a beloved place in Japanese art and folklore; Benzai-Ten, associated with music, eloquence, and prosperity, is especially favored by artists and scholars. Within the Yukari family, this piece exemplifies how Namiki balances museum-grade technique with a writing instrument built to be used and appreciated daily.

Works For Desired Use
Color: Black, Size: 4 Panel-136‘’W-Round Pad
I recently purchased the Room Divider 6FT Folding Privacy Screens, 4 Panel Partition Room Dividers, and I must say, it has transformed the way I use my living space. The four-panel design is both elegant and functional, providing instant privacy without feeling bulky or overwhelming in my room. Setting it up was a breeze; the folding mechanism is smooth, allowing me to adjust the configuration as needed—straight, angled, or zigzag. I particularly appreciate the sturdy build; the panels feel solid yet lightweight, making it easy to move around when I want to reconfigure my space. Aesthetically, it’s a great addition. The neutral finish blends well with my décor, and the simple design doesn’t draw too much attention while still offering a sense of separation. It’s perfect for creating a temporary office corner, dividing a studio apartment, or even using it as a backdrop for online meetings. If I had to point out a minor downside, it would be that the divider isn’t completely soundproof—so conversations can still carry through—but for visual privacy and space management, it’s excellent. Overall, I’m extremely satisfied and would recommend it to anyone looking for a versatile and stylish room divider.

True to size & Use a Drill
Color: Beige, Size: 3 Panel-102‘’-Round Pad, Color: Beige, Size: 3 Panel-102‘’-Round Pad
Love this! Works perfectly for where I wanted it. I did measure my room incorrectly and thought it would be smaller, thankfully it’s not and thankfully it’s not bigger than the room itself. I did like how the whole thing was move-able but it was a bit annoying so I just added extra clips to the left of the middle one and unscrewed the right of the middle at the bottom so it opens like a door, this did make it a bit flimsy but duck taping it to the wall as anchor it works. 100% recommend, but do suggest a drill and a second set of hands to put it together, due to its size it can be a bit difficult to maneuver putting together yourself. Also if you have a clingy cat like I do, and think this will help keep them out, no, my cat who is very large can manage to squeeze underneath it.

waste of money
Color: Black, Size: 4 Panel-136‘’W-Round Pad
This is a total waste of money. Its only going to free stand if you arent moving it. If you are planning on dividing a room, and then folding these for space and then dividing the room again, itll last a few days. The poles kept coming off of the screws that holds the fabric on the poles together. Was fixing this EVERY DAY. Finally got tired of doing this and just threw it out. Lot of money spent on garbage. Get a sheet room divider, or something that isnt cheaply made. Was simply making an office type space in a bedroom, to seperate the two areas for work, and folding it kept making the poles come off those twisted screws. just not worth it.

Absolutely love this room divider!
Color: Beige, Size: 3 Panel-102‘’-Round Pad, Color: Beige, Size: 3 Panel-102‘’-Round Pad
When they say you can't see anything through it, they are correct. As you can see by the video, the cars are traveling by with the sunlight on the divider and you still can't see any cars passing nor can you see the ones in the parking lot. You can also tell it blocks out the sunlight too which is a definite plus for our store. Quality material on the divider. Material is nice and snug on the poles with no ripples. I also like the base of these, they make the divider nice and sturdy and can be adjusted if floor is uneven. Also the design of the legs allow them to go under your furniture. Also putting them together is pretty easy. Just make sure you when you are putting the poles together to make sure at the top of the pole that the indent screw hole faces out. This makes for a better look. The directions don't say which way to turn and at 1st, I had one, one way and the other was another way as both ways work that way but I wanted a uniform/better look.
