The process of collecting the Urushi and applying many layers of lacquer to this fountain pen takes at least three months to complete. The craftsman sows Urushi powder onto the body, which makes a lot of grains on the surface due to surface density. After it has settled, he varnishes the body with lacquer several times to make the body harden. He sharpens these grains with charcoal and finishes with a silver lacquer, demonstrating a truly artistic craftsmanship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is not a pen that you would carry in your pocket.
