DREAM PEN - 夢万年筆 - Tamesukashi Toumei

In continuation of the Tamesukashi pen series, the Tamesukashi Toumei stands out as the inaugural demonstrator Urushi fountain pen designed to celebrate and preserve the artistry beneath. In Japanese, "Toumei" (透明) translates to "transparent," aptly capturing the essence of this pen.

The pen's unique transparency is achieved through the use of ABS, allowing the exquisite artistry beneath to shine through. The application of Suki Urushi not only enhances this transparency but also provides a protective layer, resulting in a pen that is visually stunning and robust.

KIEI NURI - 季映塗り 

The whole process is done by hand. Each pen and each piece of leaf is carefully selected and treated one by one by our artisans, as each leaf has its character, and some are not qualified for the Kieinuri technique.

First, each leaf is completely steamed until it is completely dried. The artisan must check the leaves one by one during the steaming process, because the leaf may get too dried and become easy to break later.

Then, it is pounded one by one to achieve the best thickness.  In the meantime, we apply the pen body with multiple layers of Urushi lacquer to reflect the scene of nature on the pen body.

Next, each leaf is dyed with Gold powder to have the Gold color, then attached to the body of each pen with transparent Urushi. Finally, other multiple layers of Matt Urushi are applied. To honor the purest beauty of Japanese nature which has both smoothness and roughness, our artists keep the arts as natural as they are by applying Matt Urushi with Nuripanashi technique (the technique which does not require polishing step). The Matte Urushi also has the job of protecting the leaf as well. When you touch the body of each pen, you will feel the leaf and a naturally rough surface of Japanese Matte Urushi with some uneven dots.

Please do not mistake this artistic purpose for defects.

ABS for Dream Pen Base

From Ebonite to ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene), we found that the durability of material makes the whole difference for fountain pens.

ABS material is one of the kind of plastic that is strongly resistant against chemicals, and heat, and physically sturdy.

Unlike the other type of plastics which most of us imagine as easy-to-break and disposable, ABS for our fountain pen base is tough material that can be used for many years. Especially since it is coated with Urushi, the lifespan can be considered significantly improved.
