Ikkaku By Nahvalur 胭脂 Yan-Zhi (Vermilion) Gradient Urushi
At the heart of this pen lies the art of raw lacquer, a meticulous process that involves laying the base, scraping the topcoat, and applying colored paint multiple times. The pen undergoes sanding, lacquering, and polishing in a rhythmic dance that repeats more than a dozen times, taking several months to complete. This intricate journey requires precision and patience, making each pen a testament to craftsmanship.
Throughout this process, the pen is sent to the furo multiple times, ensuring that the lacquer dries perfectly under specific humidity and temperature conditions. The result is not just a writing instrument but a work of art that embodies tradition and innovation.
Vermilion is a captivating and timeless color choice, a deep red-orange with a glossy finish that often carries cultural significance. The color of this pen is intense and eye-catching, and gives of an energy of warmth.
