The Tamesukashi Toumei pen is part of the Tamesukashi pen series and is the first Urushi transparency pen designed to celebrate and preserve the art beneath. In Japanese, the word "Toumei" (透明) translates to "transparent," perfectly capturing the essence of this pen. The pen's unique transparency is achieved through the use of ABS, allowing the exquisite art underneath to be showcased. The application of Suki Urushi enhances this transparency and provides a protective layer, resulting in a pen that is visually striking and durable.
Tamesukashi is a technique of applying Urushi oil to the desired surface. The characteristic of the oil is a slightly transparent yellow color, which will gradually become more transparent over time. The Maki-e beneath the Tamesukashi will appear more vivid due to the properties of Suki Urushi. This is an art born from the aesthetic philosophy of Wabi-sabi and the spirit of Kintsugi. Therefore, you may notice some slight imperfections or wooden formations on the surface. As these features are embedded through multiple layers of Urushi, they will not expand but instead contribute to the beauty that comes with the aging of the pen. Please do not consider them defects.
