SEKAI FOUNTAIN PENー世界万年筆
The Sekai fountain pen is born from the aspiration to be connected and peaceful like the World Tree in many mythologies. This collection embraces the idea of connecting the world with the arts.
The base materials of the Sekai fountain pen have been carefully selected from natural precious woods from all over the world such as Ebony and Sandalwood. It is then crafted with traditional arts such as Urushi, Maki-e.
SEKAI TSUGARU URUSHIー世界会津漆万年筆
Tsugaru-Nuri or Tsugaru Urushi refers to lacquerware made in Tsugaru - a city located in Aomori Prefecture, Japan. Being known as one of the most skill-intensive Urushi techniques, Tsugaru-Nuri is sophisticated yet stunningly beautiful with its unusual finish.
Sekai Tsugaru fountain pen is crafted with Kara-Nuri - a high-quality Tsugaru-Nuri technique that illustrates distinctive speckled patterns created by four to six different Urushi color lacquers. With this technique, many layers of different Urushi are applied unevenly to wooden or ebonite surfaces. After a long period of 3-4 months when Urushi lacquer is dry, artisans will start polishing to even the surface. The final finish will then become smoothly glossy and show the mottled patterns. The whole process takes 6-7 months and is totally done by hand.
The "age" in Midori-Age refers to the effect of the main color that is finally raised over other complementary colors.
Precious Wood Base
The base materials of the Sekai fountain pen have been carefully selected from natural precious woods from all over the world.
Important Note: This Urushi fountain pen is made with the Kara-Nuri technique by which many different lacquers were applied using a spatula-like tool - the shikake-bera. Traces of this tool can be seen on the pen's surface and they become a unique charm and artistic trait of the pen itself. *Please do not mistake this with defects*
WABI-SABI (侘寂)
In Japanese aesthetics, Wabi-sabi (侘寂) refers to the acceptance of imperfection or also called "wisdom in natural simplicity". This is what you will find in our Sekai Urushi fountain pen. The natural imperfection of Urushi and wood might appear on the body of the fountain pen as minor roughness or uneven spots. With the appreciation of natural materials, our artisans intended not to remove this "flawed beauty" but instead spent many months on the meticulous coating to achieve the shiniest and most elegant art that can last for life.
And because of this Wabi-sabi concept, the Sekai Urushi fountain pen is different from one to another so we call it a one-of-a-kind fountain pen.
