Originating 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 distinctive techniques of Aizu Urushi: Akebono-nuri, Koma-nuri, Metalic Nashiji, and Tamamushi-nuri \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAbout Tamamushi-nuri Tamamushi-nuri (玉虫塗) is a special technique to achieve a lustrous shine surface while exhibiting the depth effect of the Urushi layers. This can be achieved by adding silver powder onto the middle layer, between the base and final coat of Urushi. After several layers of Urushi are coated, silver powder will be applied accordingly. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor the application, craftsmen must consider the day's temperature and humidity to adjust the glaze for an even color. Again, the mastery of the craftsmen's artistic skill in polishing the Urushi and applying silver powder are the crucial factors that determine the final result. The most challenging part is when silver powder is applied, it creates a grainy texture. Therefore, they have to polish the surface until the glaze adheres flat. The silver powder is continuously topped with Urushi in such a way as to prevent dust from mixing with it. Ultimately, Tamamushi-Nuri is a brilliant artwork from Aizu that involves traditional crafts. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBase material: ABS \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eArt: Aizu Urushi, Tamamushi-nuri \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFilling mechanism: Converter or Cartridge (European International Standard) \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNib: #6 Jowo stainless steel, Wancher 18K gold \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFeed: Plastic, ebonite black, ebonite red \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact air-tight cap: Preven dried-out ink problem\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Wancher","offers":[{"title":"EF","offer_id":49851911668007,"sku":"","price":440.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0564\/0486\/9168\/files\/AizuUrushi-Tamamushi-nuri.png?v=1742316743"},{"product_id":"wancher-tamesukashi-toumei-fountain-pen","title":"Wancher Dream Pen Tamesukashi Toumei Fountain Pen","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDream Pen Tamesukashi - Toumei\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn continuation of the Tamesukashi pen series, the Tamesukashi Toumei stands out as the inaugural demonstrator Urushi fountain pen designed to celebrate and preserve the artistry beneath.

For many generations, the artisans of Huizhou guarded this technique so secretly that there were even times when rarely anyone practiced it during the 20th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYet, fortunately, with the help of our passionate artisans in Fuzhou, we have now managed to witness and bring this art to you in the shape of the Sekai fountain pens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe art of Saihi Urushi\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe key of Saihi-nuri not only lies in the treacherous and painstaking process but even more, in the distinctive material - Raw Natural Urushi. Saihi Urushi can only be made by Raw Natural Urushi, which is known for its rich color, bold texture, and semi-matt finish. With its distinct nature, Raw Urushi can enhance the durability of the natural wooden base, and create an extraordinary feel for the pen as well. As time goes by, the finish will grow even brighter and glossier with consistent use, resulting in a beautiful aging process that you can appreciate for many years to come.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe traditional Saihi-nuri technique on lacquerware is a sophisticated process. On fountain pens, even though adjusted, crucial steps and standards need to be followed:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e- First, the sap is collected, filtered, and prepared for the lacquering process.\u003cbr\u003e- After the base layer is applied, the ridges are formed. Since this step will define the frame of the final finish, each ridge is applied carefully one by one, creating a unique flow and pattern on each piece.\u003cbr\u003e- Gold Leaf 金箔 is followed to add a shimmering effect for the gold pattern later on.\u003cbr\u003e- Next, multiple layers of colored Urushi are applied until all ridges are covered fully, which can take up to 30 ~ 40 layers. Since each layer can only be added after the previous is completely dried, the process can take from 3~4 months of attentive work.\u003cbr\u003e- Now, the pen is ready for the last and most crucial step - Sanding and Polishing. The final result lies in the artisan's skill, whether or not they might overwork it and lose the gold pattern in this step.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWancher Sekai - Saihi Urushi: A combination of traditional arts\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOn top of the traditional Saihi-nuri method, the skillful Fuzhou artisans has also been experimenting other arts during the crafting process as well.
