Luxury Writing Instrument Decorated with Wajimanuri Makie - A Tradition with 600 Years of HistoryThis product is meticulously crafted using traditional techniques, involving over 100 to 130 steps before completion. The ballpoint pen body is made from natural wood, known as "kiji." By using this natural wood, the authentic techniques of Wajimanuri lacquerware are brought to life.To enhance the strength of the material, a process called "Nuno-kise" (cloth reinforcement) is applied, followed by three layers of lacquer coating: "Shitaji" (base coating), "Nakanuri" (middle coating), and "Uwanuri" (top coating), with each layer carefully polished to achieve a smooth, lustrous finish.The final stage features intricate decorative detailing using the luxurious "Makie" technique. Over time, the hardness of the lacquer coating increases, making the product more durable with continued use, allowing you to fully appreciate the true quality of lacquerware. We hope you will enjoy this product for many years to come.Oil-Based Ballpoint Pen (Twist Mechanism) | Medium Tip | Black InkBarrel Material: Natural Wood (Lacquer Finish with Makie Decoration)Pen Body Size: Maximum Diameter 13 x Total Length 146mmGift Box Size: Height 38 x Width 178 x Depth 74mm (Paulownia Wood Box Included)Compatible Refill: CROSS Ball-Point Pen Refill 8513Design - DeerNew Release!
