Traditional Lacquer Arts: Iro-Miyabi Series
Experience the profound beauty of Japanese tradition with the “Iro-Miyabi” fountain pen series. This collection celebrates the elegance of traditional lacquer arts, with each pen barrel meticulously finished in colored lacquer that embodies the timeless sophistication of Japanese craftsmanship.
Miyabi-nuri Technique
The “Miyabi-nuri” technique is a hallmark of this series. By applying lacquer onto a silk cloth and gently stroking it, artisans create a rich, textured pattern. This method uses a base color lacquer combined with special lacquers to achieve a subtle, refined look. The final touch is the delicate sprinkling of pure gold and silver powders, enhancing the pen's luxurious appearance.
