It is this ethereal, once-in-a-lifetime vision which inspired the creation of the Zogan Swan - Urushi Black Fountain Pen. The Dream Pen is coated with black Urushi, making it appear as if the mother-of-pearl Swan is floating above the midnight waters. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe contrast between the black Urushi and the irisidescence of the mother-of-pearl inlay evokes the quiet serenity of a moonless night. As light dances across the shell, the swan reveals subtle hues of silver, blue, and green, bringing the artwork to life from every angle. Every pen is meticulously handcrafted by skilled artisans, requiring countless hours of careful inlay work and repeated applications of natural Urushi lacquer. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eZogan Inlay\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis pen is handcrafted by the Urushi Artisans in Japan, before finally finished with the mother-of-pearl inlay by the Zogan experts. Each fountain pen is a labor of love and patience, as working with delicate mother-of-pearl and Urushi requires a great deal of skill.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eZogan is an Inlay Crafting technique that has existed in Japan for over a thousand years, and while it is not limited to mother-of-pearl (Raden), many Zogan artisans prefer to use this radiant material as a testament to their skill.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe art of applying one material onto the surface of an object has its own challenges, but what sets Zogan apart is that the design - in this case, the swan - must be carved onto the surface first before inlaying the bright white mother-of-pearl shells. When combined with Urushi (Japanese lacquer), the radiance of the Zogan artwork achieves an ethereal glow that is almost impossible to match. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct Care\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSince the inlay material, mother-of-pearl is delicate, please avoid dropping the pen or applying pressure to the product.
