Description
Estimated Delivery Date: 2024
Special Pre-Order Product
Kaga-nuri is a style of Urushi art that originated in Kaga City of Ishikawa Prefecture, a locale famous for fine Japanese lacquer, and features an exquisite elegance characteristic of Yamanaka region’s lacquerware. The Sosaku Shunkei Kaga-nuri technique showcased in these fountain pens is by Isana Kobayashi (aka Masatoshi Kobayashi), an artist living in Kaga City with over 30 years of experience in Urushi art. His style is one of a kind, expressing an understated yet captivating elegance inspired by the flow and serenity of nature, as well as the wealth of human emotions. The brilliant beauty of these special fountain pens are a culmination of Kobayashi’s decades of tireless training and rich experience in countless forms of Urushi art expression.
The precious value of lacquerware was established during the Nara and Heian periods as a symbol of wealth among nobility and as a beauteous, sacred embodiment of the gods.
The word “Urushi (Japanese lacquer)” is said to have originated from the word “Uruwashi”, meaning “there is nothing more beautiful”. With the Japanese aesthetic beliefs flourishing at the time, it was only natural that Urushi was coined from the word Uruwashi. The Chinese character for Uruwashi can also be read as “rei”.
The Traditional Japanese Lacquer Art REI Series was so named to reflect the passion with which Sailor Pen crafts these writing instruments, embodying the profoundly moving beauty of Japanese tradition, providing people with joy and inspiration. From the fountain pen barrel to the pen pouch and the beautifully braided high-grade Sanada strap on the paulownia wood case, everything is crafted in Japan to celebrate our traditions and origins with the REI Series.
N.B.: Urushi products are made by hand one by one and can change over time.
Comes with a pen pouch and packaged in a Paulownia box.
