Nakaya Dorsal Fin 1 Kuro-tame Ishime Fountain Pen - Pre-Order

This model has a fin on the cap that functions as a roll stopper. "Ishime kanshitsu, Kuro-tamenuri" uses shu (vermilion) lacquer as the base color and a black dry lacquer powder. The finish becomes rough and powerful like lava, just like "Ishime kanshitsu, Aka-tamenuri." "Ishime kanshitsu, Kuro-tamenuri" has a darker color because the shuai urushi lacquer mixed with black lacquer is used for the finish.

"Ishime" is made using a special technique that creates a stone-like texture on the surface. When the dry lacquer powder is sprinkled onto a lacquered surface, surface tension occurs and the powder gathers in certain areas. Use the clumps that have formed by chance, apply the lacquer in layers, let it set, and then polish it to create "Ishime." It becomes the "stone-like" finish in the garden.
