A smaller sibling of the pen I showed some time ago. Piccolo size, red metallic kawari-nuri.
Some pens are very difficult to show on pictures. Lenses, light, polarizing filters, a lot of time, but still showing the depth of some urushi techniques is simply impossible. Some pen change a lot with light. Some look best in strong daylight. Some, and those are rare, in almost darkness. Urushi is fascinating.

Bock nib. Available.

Blue waves hakemenuri pattern on black urushi.
SOLD
In hakemenuri technique the pattern is created with a hard brush (hake) in thickened urushi, to leave the brush marks on purpose. What brush you use, how you move it, how viscous is urushi, what layers follow and how it is sanded - this all influences final pattern and texture. I used a fantastic rare hake made by Mr Noboyuki Tanaka, who retired so his brushes are getting even more rare. It’s “hon” brush - horse hair (not human as typical hake is) are as long as the body of brush, so I can sharpen it many times and it will probably be in my estate still usable 😉
I finished the pen flat and smooth and polished roiro migaki.
Pen is average lenght (145mm) but I made cap and barrel almost same lenght, for fun, so uncapped it’s pretty compact.

There are many urushi techniques imitating other materials like stone, metal, textile etc. I build on this tradition and interpret legendary pen-making materials in urushi. I showed a lot of iterations of my Arco-urushi. And this pen is early stage of replicating another cult status substrate. I’m not there yet, but getting closer 😉 Can you guess what is it?
BTW: pen is available ;))
