Traditional Japanese Lacquer Art Nawate Furubihaku San Fountain Pen

Cap Featuring Stria Shaping  

Lacquer artist Toru Yoshida is the third-generation head of Shikko Yoshida, an Urushi (Japanese lacquer) atelier in the Aizu Wakamatsu region. He does not limit himself to the Aizu-nuri lacquering technique but fuses various forms and techniques that best suit each lacquerware he crafts. His ingenuity has given birth to Sailor Pen's Traditional Japanese Lacquer Art NAWATE Furubihaku Fountain pens.  

The striation that flows vertically through the fountain pen gives it the visual effect of being elegantly long and provides a stable grip for capping and uncapping. It is a masterpiece of beautility.
