Martin,
I always look forward to what my next click will reveal when you post pics of your pens. You are quite accomplished in the specialized, unique world of "urushi", and that coupled with your fine designs yields pens that are amazing. Thanks very much for posting.

Thank you again.

For those who want to get more into urushi, I recommend to buy the book URUSHI NO WAZA, probably the best and most complete book on urushi, available in English, German and soon Japanese.

The best address to order urushi and related material is Watanabe Shôten in Tokyo, Japan. The send world wide and speak English.
WATANABE-SYOTEN =SPECIALIST IN JAPANESE LACQUER MATERIALS=

I personally buy urushi from a friend in Japan and other things directly in Japan and but once a while order from Watanabe.

Cheers,

Martin
