Description

Notice: Each Urushi fountain pen is handcrafted with no two pieces exactly alike, which is a valuable characteristic of hand-crafted art. Therefore, the pen that you received might be slightly different from the prototype pictures, yet, at the same time, it will be a unique artwork of your own

About Kikkou-nuri

The Kikkou-nuri technique has its name originated from the word 亀甲 (Kikkou) which means "turtle shell". In this technique, the surface of the object is carved and then coated with multiple Urushi layers in a way that the final artwork will resemble a turtle shell.

Combining with Akatame-nuri and Midoritame-nuri, the work results in a surprisingly unique pattern. We didn't expect that these two techniques will complement each other so well and create such an uncommon yet appealing finish.

A Work of Art

"A truly unique pen. Love the way the light and shadow play off the undulating surface. The urushi finish is gorgeous. Even more gorgeous than the photos suggest."

— Wales S. (5/5)

Don't post this

"I'm only reviewing so you'll stop sending emails I have to send the pen back because the nib does not write well. I expect a $150 gold nib, to write perfectly and not need tuning but I'm waiting to send it back so it can be fixed or replaced because it only writes if I flip the nib upside down."

Q&A

On some pictures it does look like the pen features some black spots rather than a solid red coat. Is there a way to ensure it will look similar to the one in picture no.1 ( with black spots) Thank you .
Thank you for your question. The Kikkou-nuri fountain pen is handcrafted from piece to piece, so the finish pattern will vary from several black spots to none. We consider this as a valuable characteristic of hand-crafted art. Therefore, the pen that you received might be the same or slightly different from the prototype pictures here, yet, at the same time, it will be a unique artwork of your own.
