Sailor Fountain Pen – KOP Color Urushi ‘Kaga’

Urushi lacquer is an exceptional natural material made from the sap of trees, which only grow in East Asian countries. This Urushi is in very limited supply. The deciduous Urushi tree takes 15 years to reach maturity. The Urushi sap is then mixed with other compounds to form the lacquer.When hand-applied to the surface of the pen and kept in high humidity it slowly sets into a hard durable and lustrous finish, which is waterproof and resistant to most other materials. This unique lacquered surface protects the pen in the best possible manner.The Urushi is applied in up to 12 separate coatings, all of which have to fully harden and fry before the next application. The total process can take up to two months to prepare. Comes in an elegant wooden box with a bottle of ink.
