■ “WAJIMA BIJOU Fountain Pen”
The second series following WAJIMA BIJOU Coral (pink) and Sapphire (blue), which was launched in December 2020.
“WAJIMA BIJOU Fountain Pen” is a lacquer-coated fountain pen that uses Wajima lacquer lacquer and maki-e techniques to fill the recesses (grooves) of the main body, and the surface is smooth and glossy by repeating coating and polishing many times. .
An attractive world view is expressed by combining the design and luster that evokes the image of jewels = bijou, and the stone words of jewels. The border, lid plug, and tail plug of the main body are finished using colored lacquer, mother-of-pearl, and pure gold powder. Each jewel has a “stone language”, and this fountain pen has the power of that “stone language”.
Wajima lacquer lacquer craftsman Takuya Hino carefully applied lacquer and lacquer to each pen by hand. A serial number is placed on the lid gold ring with an original design, and a large 21K gold nib unique to Sailor Fountain Pen is installed. There are two colors: ruby (red) and emerald (green). Only 300 of each color will be sold in Japan and overseas.
◆ What is “Wajima-nuri”?
Wajima-nuri is a type of lacquerware produced in Wajima City, Ishikawa Prefecture, and its history is said to date back to the Heian period.
