New release of Kin-nashiji-maki

Kin-nashiji-maki is a technique where nashiji gold powder is sprinkled on the surface of urushi, and after drying, a highly pure transparent urushi called nashiji-urushi is applied, and the gold powder is polished so that it is not exposed. The powder is visible through the transparent urushi film.

The base is black ebonite, and it is finished by wiping urushi several times, applying black urushi several times, sprinkling nashiji gold powder K24 in a ratio of 90% to nashiji silver powder 950 in 10%, nashiji-urushi several times, polishing, wiping urushi several times, and polishing.

I received a filming request from an Australian creator.
It was a difficult request, as he wanted to film all the steps in making one fountain pen.
I was going to politely decline, but as we communicated, I felt that I should not turn down his request.
If the barrel material is celluloid, there are fewer drying steps and the total number of steps is the fewest,
so I thought it might be possible, so I took on the challenge.
(Usually, 8 to 10 pens are made at the same time, and it takes about a month to make them.)
I holed myself up in the workshop, and went through all the steps in a total of about 16 hours over two days, and successfully filmed them.
Thanks to the creator’s sharp perspective, artistic sense, and passion, I was able to work very comfortably.
I think this is a completed video work that is like a concerto between the creator and me.
I received a happy message from the creator saying,
“There were many parts that I couldn’t throw away, so it turned out to be a long 30-minute video.”
I hope you will take the time to watch it.
With gratitude for everything.

(Sold out) 90th Anniversary Model Limited 35

(Sold out)

Announcement date: July 1, 2024

HAKASE 90th Anniversary Model Mikurajima Gold Mulberry Wood Grain Chinkin Wipe Urushi Limited to 35 Pieces

I want to make something that will be called a national treasure someday. Something that has never been seen before, making the most of precious natural materials, and yet being more beautiful and yet being able to be used as a tool for everyday use. We expressed this desire at the turning point of our 90th anniversary.

We obtained rare Mikurajima Gold Mulberry. This is an unprecedented model that makes the texture and grain of the material itself more beautiful and prominent through wood grain chinkin. In addition, the edge of the cap is generously decorated with chinkin, creating an accent like a cap ring.

About Mikurajima Gold Mulberry

Mikurajima Gold Mulberry is the best mulberry wood. The mulberry of Mikurajima, located in the central Izu Islands that belong to Tokyo. This region is blessed with a warm climate throughout the year, and historically has a lot of rich nature. This is what made this mulberry famous. Since Mikurajima is a place where humans cannot reach, the tree rings pile up and the mountain slope is steep, so it grows in a place where humans cannot reach, and the tree’s rings become dense and deep golden color. Because of this property, it is called gold mulberry, and it is an extremely rare material that is almost impossible to obtain these days.

About Wood Grain Chinkin

I was thinking about how to express the beautiful grain of this rare material more beautifully, and I came across the woodworker’s technique of Wood Grain Chinkin. Wood Grain Chinkin  is a technique that uses the traditional Maki-e technique of “Chinkin” to leave pure gold leaf and pure gold powder in the wood grain, making the texture of the material itself more beautiful and prominent. Wood Grain Chinkin is usually used for keyaki and chestnut, but I was fortunate to have access to the texture of the gold mulberry wood grain, and I was convinced that it would definitely be beautifully finished. Until then, I had a hard time selecting the gold leaf and gold powder to use, but after two years of repeated trial and error, I was successful.

*We strongly recommend that you use the setting without posting the cap on the barrel. (To prevent scratches on the wood grain chinkin lacquer part from years of use.) 

You can also choose the color of the ebonite for the neck and screw part in black or red and black.

(Sold out) Black persimmon urushi limited 13

(Sold out)

Released on November 9, 2023
From Minano, Chichibu, Saitama Prefecture

I got a few special rare parts.
Black persimmon is a common name, and the type of tree is “persimmon tree.” When a persimmon tree is sawn, it usually has a milky white to light yellow color, but in rare cases, a black color similar to ink may enter the center of the tree. This is called black persimmon. The probability is 1 in 10,000, making it extremely valuable and expensive. It is common for black patterns to appear only on old trees that are over 150 years old, so we thought that the “tannin” that is the source of persimmon tannin may change color, giving the persimmon tree, which is originally white, a black color. It is being The carefully selected wood grains are wiped and finished with urushi.
