◆What is the lacquer art technique “Ishime-nuri”?

Ishime-nuri is a lacquer painting technique in which the surface of the lacquer is uneven, resembling the skin of a stone. The fine grained stones are made by sprinkling charcoal powder or dry lacquer powder on top of lacquer, then applying lacquer on top and polishing it. Also, since lacquer hardens by absorbing moisture from the air, it takes several days to several weeks to dry, so it takes several months to complete a lacquer work.

For this product, the ebonite body of the fountain pen is coated with lacquer for preliminary treatment, then a base coat of lacquer is applied on top of that, then dry lacquer powder made in the same color as the colored lacquer is sprinkled, and a finishing coat of lacquer is applied. After that, it is a masterpiece that has been polished with many coats of colored lacquer.
