Aizu Urushi - Metallic Nashiji

*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. Originated 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 three distinctive techniques of Aizu Urushi: Akebono-nuri, Koma-nuri, and Metalic Nashiji.

About Metallic Nashiji

Nashiji 梨子地 or pear-skin ground refers to a Japanese maki-e technique that creates artworks with a texture resembling pear fruit skin. Aizu Metalic Nashiji is a Nashiji technique that works with metallic gold powder to create a rich grained surface.

With a top transparent coat, the Metallic Nashiji finish is a magnificent translucent golden decoration that can catch lots of attention.
