Traditional Japanese Lacquer Art Nawate Haku-chirashi Yoh 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 Haku-chirashi Fountain Pens. The striation that flows vertically through the fountain pen cap gives it the visual effect of being elegantly long and provides a stable grip for capping and uncapping. It is a masterpiece of beautility.
