Nakaya Dorsal Fin 1 Suzu Ishime (Shu) Fountain Pen - Pre-Order

This model has a fin on the cap that functions as a roll stopper. It is designed with the image of a knife. It is "Suzu Ishime," where "roasted tin powder" is used instead of Kanshitsu (dry lacquer) powder. By using the roasted tin powder, the finish of the material could be created. This red Suzuishime is made with Shu (vermilion) lacquer for the base, providing a bright finish that gives silver a touch of splendor.

"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 spots. Use the clumps that have formed by chance, apply the lacquer in layers, let it set, and then polish it to create "Ishime." It will be the "cobblestone-like" finish in the garden.
