The Namiki Yukari Fountain Pen - Shooting Star captures a fleeting moment of night sky brilliance in enduring urushi lacquer. A refined member of Namiki's celebrated Yukari series, it brings together Japanese maki-e artistry and the reliable writing performance that enthusiasts expect from Namiki by Pilot. Subtle depth, glints of raden shell, and trails of precious metal powders create a luminous constellation motif that rewards close study and long ownership.

Craftsmanship & Design

Each Shooting Star motif is built up in layers of hand-applied urushi, then adorned using traditional maki-e techniques. Artisans sprinkle and fix precious metal powders to sketch the star's trajectory across a deep black lacquer ground, while accents of raden inlaid abalone shell provide iridescent points of light that shift with viewing angle. The result is a quiet, nocturnal atmosphere that reveals new details as the pen turns in the hand.

The Yukari format offers an elegant, balanced silhouette with understated trim that complements rather than competes with the artwork. The lacquer's depth and polish give the surface a soft glow, enhancing the contrast between dark field and shimmering celestial elements. This is a piece conceived not only as a writing instrument, but as an intimate canvas for living lacquer and time-honored decorative technique.

Writing Experience

At the heart of the Namiki Yukari Shooting Star is an 18k gold nib, available in fine, medium, or broad. Known for poise and consistency, Namiki nibs deliver a refined flow with a gentle touch, making extended writing feel effortless. The cartridge/converter system offers day-to-day practicality and easy ink changes, while the pen's mid-size proportions sit naturally in the hand, posted or unposted.

Whether drafting careful correspondence or keeping a daily journal, the combination of smooth 18k gold nib, well-regulated feed, and balanced construction produces a composed, quietly expressive line. It is the kind of performance that invites regular use, allowing the maki-e to be appreciated not only in the display case but at the desk.

Provenance & Artistry

Namiki stands as the artisanal expression of Pilot, carrying forward a lacquer tradition cultivated since the early 20th century. Today, Namiki's maki-e work continues in Japan under the hands of seasoned lacquer artists who train for years to master the interplay of urushi, metal powders, and shell inlay. Multiple coats, careful curing, and meticulous polishing give the Yukari series its characteristic depth and clarity. In the Shooting Star design, that discipline serves a simple, evocative image with restraint and grace.

My Favorite Blanky
Color: Yellow&grey, Size: 60"x80", Color: Yellow&grey, Size: 60"x80"
The color of the yellow/grey is exceptional. The blending and pattern of the two colors makes for a very realistic looking pelt and the colors go with an extensive variety of other colors you may have in your home. In a couple of spots you could see little clumps where the fur was sticking out further than the rest, almost like it was trying to shed, but I just took scissors and cut the little tuffs to be even with the rest of the fur. Never once has it actually shed. It holds smells really well so washing it on a delicate cycle with those scent booster beads and then putting it in the dryer on the Air Dry setting creates this magical scent that fills an entire room. I have issues with a lot of textures so I’m very particular about my fabrics and furs and I can tell you this blanket feels like pure bliss and does not give me sensory overload or an icky feeling. It’s a great weight as well, id say it’s a medium-heavy blanket. It’s exactly what I was looking for. I have had this blanket for about a year now and the quality is definitely worth it. It’s held up against 3 big dogs, my toddler, and my newborn and it still looks like it just got delivered to me. Personally I thought the blanket was going to be bigger, but I am still content with the size. it’s gone from my couch to my bed and fits both perfectly. I love it on both. I feel that for the price the blanket could have been bigger but other than that, it was worth the money.

Soft and comfortable. Quality leather nsckrd. Genuine sheepskin. No off odors. I'm skinny and not on tailbone. Hoping this helps. The grey tipped is more of a bluish gray. Pretty but not s true gray.

On the fence? This is the sheepskin to get!
Size: 2' x 3' (Natural), Color: Wolf Tipped
I've been reading all the reviews for sheepskins on AMZ and felt this company was the one to go for and WOW did they deliver! The sheepskin came well wrapped but not vacuum packed and is even prettier in person than the pictures. It is super soft, fluffy and dense and mine measured 26" x 40". I absolutely love the wolf tipped colors: ivory, dark grey and a slight brownish hue. There is a slight odor but I don't find it offensive. It stayed put on my leather couch and sitting on it during a Netflix movie was heavenly warm and comfortable. I did not observe any shedding. Will definitely buy another wolf tipped one, once it becomes available as it is worth the money.
