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

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.

 

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.

Golden beauty

"The Aizu Urushi - Metallic Nashiji pen is really a golden beauty. Not only the metallic shine of the gold power underneath the urushi lacquer but its well balanced cigar shape both catch the eyes of anybody around. It is perfectly handcrafted and it is a delight to write with it. The #6 JoWo steel nib with ebonite feed largely contribute to it. I particularly like the spring in the cap for a perfect sealing of the pen, avoiding it from drying out."

Beautiful

"Aizu Urushi have an impressive color. At close range, the sparkle is marvelous. The nib (18k gold) is as good as it can be! The weight, the balance is perfect; this fountain pen is very comfortable for my (left) hand."
