In continuation of the Tamesukashi pen series, the Tamesukashi Toumei stands out as the inaugural demonstrator Urushi fountain pen designed to celebrate and preserve the artistry beneath. In Japanese, "Toumei" (??) translates to "transparent," aptly capturing the essence of this pen. The pen\'s unique transparency is achieved through the use of ABS, allowing the exquisite artistry beneath to shine through. The application of Suki Urushi not only enhances this transparency but also provides a protective layer, resulting in a pen that is visually stunning and robust. Tamesukashi is a technique of applying Urushi lacquer on top of the desired surface.The characteristic of the lacquer is slightly translucent yellow color, but it will slowly transfered into more transparent over time. The Maki-e under the Tamesukashi coat will be visibly more vivid due to the characteristic of Suki urushi. This is an artwork born from the aesthetic philosophy of Wabi-sabi and the spirit of Kintsugi. Therefore, you may observe a few slight imperfections or wood schemas along the finish. As these traits are embraced by multiple layers of Urushi, it will not expand yet instead, contributing to the aging beauty of the whole pen. Please do not mistake these for defects.
