TACCIA Empress Shin Tsugaru Nuri Fountain Pen – Ao-Iro (Limited Edition) Medium

Tradition meets innovation in a captivating blend of craftsmanship and artistry. Tsugaru Nuri, a centuries-old lacquerware technique from Japans Aomori prefecture, has been meticulously adapted by TACCIA into their ebonite-bodied pens, ensuring instruments that stand apart from the ordinary.

This oversized Ao-Iro fountain pen features an exquisite deep blue urushi lacquered ebonite body, adorned with delicate quail eggshell and raden maki-e inlay. Over 20 different layers of urushi lacquer go into the making of this pen.

The Empress model is fitted with the famous Japanese King of Pen bi-color 18k gold nib, and fills with either a proprietary Sailor converter or Sailor ink cartridges; both are included. A fabric pen wrap and a complementary bottle of ink are also included in the wooden gift box.

The Empress Shin Tsugaru Nuri collection is limited to 20 pens in each color; each is individually numbered and signed by the maki-e artisan on the pen barrel.
