Wancher Sekai Aizu Urushi Fountain Pen – Sandalwood CT

Introducing the Wancher Sekai Aizu Urushi Fountain Pen, an exclusive masterpiece available only at Makoba. This exquisite fountain pen is inspired by the concept of connectivity and peace, drawing parallels to the World Tree found in various mythologies. The collection aims to bridge cultures and unite the world through the medium of art.

Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the Sekai fountain pen features a selection of natural precious woods sourced from different corners of the globe, including Ebony, Sandalwood, and Verawood. These materials are then skillfully adorned using traditional Japanese arts such as Urushi lacquer and Maki-e techniques, or embellished with a high-quality Japanese Sterling Silver clip.

Important Note:The Sekai Aizu Urushi fountain pen was hand-crafted with the Nurippanashi technique, which only a highly experienced artisan can execute. Since no polishing step is required, sometimes it might leave the surface with a few uneven dots or show the wood texture. Please do not mistake this for defects.

Handcrafted in Fukushima, Japan, utilizing the time-honored Aizu Urushi technique, the Sekai Aizu Urushi fountain pen pays homage to a lacquerware tradition with a history spanning over 9000 years. Each pen is individually hand-painted with Suki-Urushi (translucent lacquer) by experienced artisans, resulting in a unique and personalized piece of art.

The raw Urushi lacquer initially possesses a light amber hue, which gradually transforms into a more transparent finish over time, allowing the natural beauty of the wood beneath to shine through. Embracing the Japanese aesthetic principle of Wabi-sabi, which celebrates imperfection and natural simplicity, the Sekai Urushi fountain pen showcases the inherent beauty of Urushi and wood, including minor irregularities that add character to each pen.

The Sterling Silver 925 clip, an optional feature when ordering the fountain pen, is meticulously crafted in Japan using high-quality silver and finished with a special anodizing technique. Available in shades of Ebony, Sandalwood, and Verawood, each Sekai Urushi fountain pen is truly one-of-a-kind, reflecting the uniqueness and individuality of its craftsmanship.

Experience the timeless elegance and artistry of the Wancher Sekai Aizu Urushi Fountain Pen, a symbol of cultural fusion and craftsmanship that transcends borders.
