akashiya Brush Pen, Maki-e Brush Pen, Dragon, Lacquered, Vermilion, UK18E-05

The Lacquered Dragon Maki-e Brush Pen is a brush pen reworked to resemble a fountain pen. The brush is crafted from bamboo, giving it a textured feel that fits comfortably in the hand. The lacquer is crafted using Echizen lacquer, a method said to have a history dating back 1,500 years. It's a traditional artisanal technique that has been refined over that time. Each brush is painstakingly finished with a unique texture, resulting in a masterpiece that becomes more comfortable in the hand the longer it is used.

[Nara Brush Master Akashiya] To craft these brushes, we select from over 10 types of animal hair that are soft and hard and have excellent ink absorption. The quality of the brush varies depending on the species of animal, the time of collection, and the part of the body where the hair is harvested. The brush-making technique, which skillfully combines a wide variety of hair types based on elasticity, strength, length, etc., is the result of years of experience and research by brush masters. This, combined with traditional techniques, allows Nara brushes to be produced, with exquisitely finished tips.
