Based on the ebonite King of Pen, this special edition is limited to 88 pieces worldwide. It will be available late January / early February.
Master Urushi artist Mr Koushu Nishihara has applied translucent Suki-Urushi to a base layer of urushi lacquer which in turn is covered by red urushi. Over time the material will lighten and mature. The Suki Urushi gives great depth to the finish. Mr Nishihara has signed and numbered each pen.
“Tame” translates as “pool”, and it is this technique that give such depth to the finish. “Shiro Dame” translates as “white no” – the red is underlaid with white lacqueLacking a clip, this is a pen to be kept on your desk, where you will reach for it often. The King of Pen nib is simply superb, the balance perfect. We have only a broad nib left.
