Bokashi Urushi - Sunset

Important Notice: The Bokashi-nuri art combines multiple lacquer layers to create a smooth transitioning between colors. With each lacquer being applied by hands, traces of the process such as tiny dots or slightly asymmetrical thickness can be seen in the final finish. Known as wabi-sabi - an aesthetic aspect of Japanese hand-crafted art, this characteristic makes each Bokashi pen a unique work of art, with no two pieces exactly the same.

暈し塗り /bokashi-nuri/ - Gradation

Summer in Japan is when you can see clearly the beauty of natural transitions during the day. And taking that as an inspiration, our artisans wanted to create fountain pens that can depict those transitions. The fascinating scenery of sunset, sunrise, and eclipse during summer in Japan is reflected onto Dream Pen using one of the most sophisticated Wajima Urushi techniques - 暈し塗り /bokashi-nuri/ or gradation.

Bokashi-nuri refers to an Urushi technique where the application of Urushi is smoothly transitioned from one color to another. It is not an easy process and it requires many months of making but it creates a spectacular art without any two similar items.

Handcrafted in Wajima, Japan by one of the most skillful craftsmen, Dream Pen Bokashi is made with the natural Red and Black Urushi in the design of Sunset, Sunrise, Solar Eclipse, and Lunar Eclipse.
