Manu Propria Pens - Namban-Kawari-Nuri

[manupropria]

Hi there,
Just finished a set of urushi pens with "Namban-Kawari-Nuri". Namban refers to the term used for Japanese things influenced by "Southern barbarians", meaning the Portugueese reaching Japan in the 15th century, coming from the South. It is a lacquer I developed myself a few years ago. The design bases on many circles sprinkled with metal powders such as Platinum, Gold, Silver, Tin, Bronze, Brass, Titanium, Tungsteen and abalone

Best regards,

Martin

Works of art, every one of them. There is only a hand full of people here on IAP that I would call artists and you are most certainly one of them. Beautiful work!!!
