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.

Not bad but read my full review if you are experimenting with different brands
Scent: Hair Styler (1 Pack)
So I am middle of the road on this product. First, I love the products from this brand and use some of their other products quite regularly. I was on a search for an alternative to the Crew Forming Cream (which I have used for maybe 20 years) and decided to purchase this product by Huron as well as the much cheaper medium hold styling cream by Cremo. All three are great products but you will need to decide for yourself how much hold you need as I have discovered that each are quite different and really shouldn't be compared to one another. I will say that if I had to put them all into two categories then Crew is heavy hold and Huron and Cremo is medium / light hold. I must admit that I was skeptical that the cheaper of the three, Cremo, would win me over but it has. For the record it has a very subtle scent (hardly noticable), just enough hold and does not leave you feeling like you have product in your hair. This is similar to Huron as well (although Huron is a very creamy in texture and you can tell its a higher quality product) but at the end of the day all that matters is great hold from a product that is affordable and does not leave a sticky texture in your hair. Cremo wins hands down. As for Crew, well it was a good ride but too expensive and way too heavy...time to move on.

So lightweight. Perfect for extra thick hair.
Scent: Hair Styler (1 Pack)
Its almost mousse like in how light weight it is and smells fantastic. I wanted something just above light weight hold and not weigh my thick hair down and this does a great job. A little pricey but SO much better than the usual store brands out there. And my wife is totally in love with how great it smells when I put it on, so bonus!

Smells good and doesn’t feel greasy
Scent: Hair Styler (1 Pack)
Product didn’t leave a greasy feeling to the hands or the hair. Kept hold all day for my hair style but I knew it was light hold going in. It has a great scent

Fantastic Face Wash for Men
Scent: Face Wash, Size: 5.1 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
I love Huron's Face Wash. It is mild, moisturizing, and has just enough abrasive to exfoliate. Most Huron products are top-notch, and this is one of my favorites.
