The Namiki Chinkin Cherry Blossom fountain pen, from the Chinkin collection, captures the essence of nature with its design. This fountain pen features the cherry blossom in the chinkin technique. The cherry blossom is a flower from many trees of the genus Prunus or Prunus subg. Cerasus. Also known as Japanese cherry and Sakura, it is considered the national flower of Japan. Chinkin is a technique that uses special chisels to engrave a pattern on the lacquered surface. The design is infused with color by applying an additional layer of lacquer to the chisel tracings and embedding gold leaf or gold powder.
The Namiki Chinkin (Cherry Blossom) was packaged extremely nicely and carefully - it arrived in pristine condition and writes beautifully. I got mine in a Fine. The delivery was extremely fast and the pricing is one of the cheapest out there in the market (even more so when you factor in the fact that they cover Custom/Duty taxes - in Australia).

Beautiful Writer
This pen is wonderful to write with. I got a medium nib and it is buttery smooth. It glides on the page without much effort. I received this pen almost at the same time as I got "finally" my Nakaya cigar piccolo from Japan. Both are beautiful pens and I find myself liking the Namiki Chinkin nib over the Nakaya's. It is hard to describe the feeling of writing with the Namiki nib, it has almost a zen-like, peacefully tranquil feeling writing with it. But in terms of aesthetics, I prefer the Nakaya in its simplicity. The size of the Namki Chinkin is perfect for my hand - which is small. If you can buy a Namiki Chinkin, I highly recommend it.
