Sailor King of Pen Iro-Miyabi

Sailor King of Pen Iro-Miyabi

Ishime Nuri is a lacquering technique that enables the surface of the lacquer to appear roughened to give the appearance and texture of stones.   As with all Urushi lacquering techniques it is hugely time consuming – it takes several months for the lacquer to dry, and the effect is achieved by repeatedly coating the pen with other different kinds of lacquer to create a masterpiece –  made with much care which is reflected in the outstanding look and feel of the pen.

Based on the classic ebonite King of pen, the Sailor King of Pen Iro-Miyabi manages to improve on perfection.  The 21ct bicolour nib offers a superb writing experience.  The pen’s inherent balance makes this substantial pen a joy to use.

We have secured 4 of these pens, one of each colour, of which two remain – ebony and green..
