A "Miyabi Bô" pen with "Kashiwaki Maki-e" urushi lacquer. "Nama Ha Suri Nuri" is a technique in which leafs of plants are painted with strongly pigmented urushi and pressed on urushi lacquer ground to leave the leaf's pattern. Kashiwaki-Maki-e is one version where "Oak" leafs are used. The remaining urushi is sprinkled with various metal powders, in this case gold, platinum and copper. Some are left pure red, yellow and orange urushi.

Best,

Martin

Beautiful fall colors and it looks like Japan.

I can't seem to write about your pens unless I use the word "beautiful" or "art".
