The Namiki Yukari Royale Maki-e Fountain Pen - Lioness and Cubs brings an intimate natural scene to life in hand-lacquered detail. A lioness watches over her young, rendered with quiet power and warmth, while lustrous maki-e accents catch the light like sun on fur. The expansive Yukari Royale canvas offers generous space for the composition, allowing depth, movement, and subtle tonal shifts to unfold with every glance.

Craftsmanship & Design

Built on an ebonite body finished in multiple layers of urushi lacquer, this Yukari Royale is adorned by a Namiki Kokkokai artist using traditional maki-e techniques. Fine powders of precious metals are sprinkled into wet lacquer, then sealed, polished, and often reworked over successive layers to achieve soft gradations, delicate highlights, and a sense of relief. The result is a scene that feels both painterly and enduring, with the lioness and her cubs articulated in shimmering detail against a richly polished ground.

The Yukari Royale format is celebrated for its balanced proportions and ample surface for intricate artwork. Here, the composition flows gracefully around the barrel and cap, revealing new facets as the pen turns in the hand. Carefully applied accents and linework emphasize expression over ornament, elevating the natural narrative without overwhelming it. The clip and trim provide a restrained frame, keeping focus on the artwork itself.

Writing Experience

A large 18k gold Namiki nib anchors the writing experience with a smooth, confident line. Tuning and finishing reflect Pilot and Namiki's century of nib expertise: dependable starting, steady flow, and gentle feedback that rewards deliberate handwriting. The Yukari Royale's substantial yet well-balanced profile makes long sessions comfortable, while the cartridge/converter system keeps daily use straightforward.

Offered in a range of nib grades, the pen accommodates varied writing styles, from precise note-taking to expressive journaling. The generous nib size offers a quiet responsiveness on the page, translating subtle pressure changes into nuanced strokes without harshness.

Provenance

Namiki, the artisanal house of Pilot established in 1925, has long championed Japan's urushi and maki-e traditions on fine writing instruments. Through the Kokkokai atelier, master artisans continue techniques refined over generations, uniting patient handwork with reliable modern engineering. The Yukari Royale line embodies this union: a dependable luxury pen whose artwork is created with time-honored materials and methods meant to endure.

Finally sleeping through the night without waking up drenched
I was dealing with night sweats almost every night. Waking up overheated, flipping my pillow over constantly, just uncomfortable and restless. It was starting to mess with my sleep in a real way. Since switching to this cooling pillowcase (and pairing it with a cooling blanket), it’s been a completely different experience. I’m actually staying cool through the night and not waking up soaked or irritated. The fabric feels cool to the touch right away and doesn’t trap heat like a regular pillowcase. It’s smooth, comfortable, and still feels good after washing. Not stiff or weird like some “cooling” materials can be. Is it magic? No. But does it noticeably reduce overheating and help you sleep better? Absolutely. If you run hot at night or deal with night sweats, this is one of those small upgrades that makes a big difference. I wish I had bought it sooner.

so far so good
I was surprised at this pair of pillow cases only because the material seemed impossible to be cooling - it's that weird polyester blend. So far I have not awoken feeling sweaty around my face and scalp. I don't recall what I originally paid but I think it is great value for money! If you are sensitive to out of the box smell, I washed mine first and it didn't impede on the efficacy of the cooling!

It’s like sleeping on a beach in San Vito lo Capo
Italian voice: I’m a big meaty fella so I put off a lot of heat ya hear. These pillow cases have changed my life. One moment they’re hot and the next you flip them and you’re blasted with a blast of ice cool what it feels like to chew 5 gum feeling capeesh. I would reccomend these pillow cases to even my grandma. If ya wanta get a rest so good that it feels like ya been sleeping with the fishes get these pillow cases, they’re the real deal. Then stop at Pauline’s joint and grab a slice of pizza say Vinnie sent ya. Anyways I gotta go my wife’s cooking up a mean lasgna and we’re gonna watch the dodgers. Let me know how these treat ya I guarantee they will change your life. Vinnie out

Soft "cooling" case.
Yes it is very cool when you lay on it. It doesn't stay cold though. Within a minute or 2 to whatever your temp is.

Great for hair and skin. Great buy.
These pillow cases are great for my hair and skin. They look good, hold up well in the washer and dryer, and the price is great. They are cooling. Of course I wish they could be more cooling, but honestly I'm not sure that's even possible. Great pillow cases. Already bought more for other heads. Would buy again.
