Description
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 Dream Pen Aizu Urushi
As you might have known from our Sekai collection, Aizu Urushi is one of the oldest and most famous lacquerware in Japan. Originating from Aizu - a region of heavy snowfalls, Aizu Urushi has a history of over 9000 years. This time, we would like to introduce to you the distinctive techniques of Aizu Urushi: Akebono-nuri, Koma-nuri, Metalic Nashiji, and Tamamushi-nuri.
About Tamamushi-nuri
Tamamushi-nuri (玉虫塗) is a special technique to achieve a lustrous shine surface while exhibiting the depth effect of the Urushi layers. This can be achieved by adding silver powder onto the middle layer, between the base and final coat of Urushi. After several layers of Urushi are coated, silver powder will be applied accordingly.
For the application, craftsmen must consider the day's temperature and humidity to adjust the glaze for an even color. Again, the mastery of the craftsmen's artistic skill in polishing the Urushi and applying silver powder are the crucial factors that determine the final result. The most challenging part is when silver powder is applied, it creates a grainy texture. Therefore, they have to polish the surface until the glaze adheres flat. The silver powder is continuously topped with Urushi in such a way as to prevent dust from mixing with it. Ultimately, Tamamushi-Nuri is a brilliant artwork from Aizu that involves traditional crafts.

Breath taking
"From the moment I opened the envelope it came in I was just taken back. The box is gorgeous and that’s not even the pen yet. This is my very first Urushi pen and it’s just beautiful. Will definitely buy more from wancher"
Great Pen
"This is an absolutely great pen, the packaging was amazing, and the pen writes like a dream."
Comparable to Nakaya
"This pen is finely crafted with perfect, glossy lacquer. The Keiryu nib is also satisfying, and I hope that a 14k Keiryu nib will be available in the future."
Vibrant fountain pen
"The red colour of this fountain pen is really nice. The pen itself it is quite light and sits nicely in the palm of your hand. It would be nice if a lid stopper would be offered as an optional addition as it could be quite useful."
