"Same" in the west known as Galuchat, Pearl Ray Skin
This is a very difficult and time consuming lacquer technique.
Round pads are cut from a pearl ray skin and glued on the pen body with urushi. After 5 days of well drying many, up to 100 layers of transparent
"sakari-urushi" is applied, one layer after the other, always keeping in mind,
that every layer has to dry over a period of 24 hours. Finally the surface is ground flat and polished. The group of roll stopper snails are built in high relief "takamaki-e" technique with urushi and matal powders
Enjoy weekend
