Nakaya Maki-e Kissho Tsuikin Dragon Fountain Pen

Nakaya has completed a brand new dragon by using the Ryukyu(Okinawa) Tsuikin technique.
The Ryukyu Tsuikin has been founded by using a hint of the Tsuishu technique from the 1700's.
In Tsuishu technique, a craftsman rubs several colors of Urushi lacquer ware into the layer and engraves it to express an accumurated colors. Ryukyu Tsukin technique, a craftsman mixes pigment with Urushi like a rice cake and makes a shape. After that, the craftsman cuts using a knife one by one and pastes it to the body of the pen.
