Description

Dunhill-Namiki Sakura Rose Limited Edition
Maki-e Masterpiece by Kyusai Yoshida #15/25
Alfred Dunhill and Namiki celebrate the 75th anniversary of their partnership with the Dunhill-Namiki Sakura Rose Limited Edition Fountain Pen. This magnificent masterpiece was designed by now-retired Maki-e Grandmaster, Kyusai Yoshida, using the most complex and remarkable level of Maki-e: Grade A, signifying all-over lacquering of the most detailed variety.
The cap is decorated with brilliant pink Japanese cherry blossoms while golden English roses decorate the barrel of the pen creating a "East meets West" theme - a harmonious unison of two cultures. The vest-type #50 fountain pen model, which was at the time exclusive to Dunhill-Namiki, is the base of this fountain pen. It was not until 2009 that this majestic pen became available to other Pilot customers. The gold trim displays the "torii" logo which represents Shinto Temple architecture in which the Namiki Manufacturing Company used in the 1930's.
The Sakura Rose was so desired that all 25 creations were pre-sold even with their high retail price. The unveiling of the Sakura Rose took place at the Alfred Dunhill Exhibition on May 25, 2005 where only 200 guests were invited including Masamichi Sunami, one of the authors of "Fountain Pens of Japan."
The Sakura Rose is created with such elegance and difficulty in technique, it is a true representation of the pinnacle of Alfred Dunhill-Namiki development.
