Dunhill-Namiki and Lacquer Pens.- Tomihiro Murakami

This book is a compendium on the editions of the collaboration between the English Dunhill and the Japanese Pilot/Namiki for the production and commercialization of pens and pencils treated with Urushi lacquer and embellished with Maki-e techniques between 1929 and the 60s.

It gathers the signatures of the most renowned artists involved in the lacquering and painting process of the pieces, and a complete collection of them.

It has the "small" inconvenience of being all written in Japanese without simultaneous translation into another European language, so besides learning about this fascinating aspect of the world of pens, it can be used to expand language knowledge.

ESSENTIAL for Dunhill-Namiki Collectors.
