The process of collecting the urushi (sap) refining it, compounding it with powdered pigment and applying many successive layers of lacquer to this fountain pen takes three months or longer to complete. This technique, though painstaking, gives this fountain pen its deep lustrous sheen and has been used by Namiki craftsmen since 1918.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e This streamlined and subtle torpedo form is a study in balance. Even though this is a relatively large pen, users will find this pen enjoyable and easy to control.
