This pen contains the traditional thinner edge around the cap and the barrel, allowing the the base color of the pen to be revealed. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo produce the tame-nuri effect, the nuri-shi (artisan) will apply suki-urushi (clearish brown) on the outer layer of the pen and then will burnish it. Suki-urushi is made up of an extremely high quality refined urushi. The high quality refinement involves a paper filtration process (also known as urushi-koshi) using Yoshino-gami (hand-made paper filters) which is a progressive filtration process where the filtration starts with binding pieces of Yoshino-gami together and squeezing out the urushi through them, followed by repeating this activity again but instead with larger quantities of pieces of Yoshino-gami bound together for finer filtration.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTame-nuri creates an amazing depth on the pen that no other material can replicate. As soon as one sees these pens in person, they will immediately know why nuri-shi (artisans) believe urushi is living. Tame-nuri allows for pens to come alive as it has transformational abilities with its material being able to change colors over time – tame-nuri does not deteriorate like most materials when exposed to light, but instead it evolves gracefully into another color. If you have never picked one of these bad boys up before, definitely look for these at the pen shows because nothing is like seeing these pens in person, camera photos just don’t do it justice. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReference Article:\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.urushipen.com\/blogs\/resource\/what-is-tame-nuri-on-an-urushi-pen\" title=\"what is tame-nuri on an urushi pen\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eWhat is Tame-nuri finish on an urushi pen? \u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUrushi Blue vs Urushi Green:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis pen color is called \"Ao\". Hundreds of years ago, the word \"ao\" in Japanese was used for both the color blue and green. Green was seen as a tint of blue and, therefore, it is often found in urushi fountain pens where the distinction may not be made clearly when tagged with the word \"ao\". It was not until the last century was the word \"midori\" used as an indicator for the color green. This pen would be considered to be in the \"ao\" color so, therefore, depending on the artisan, you may see the base color reveal a more greenish or more bluish color depending on their preference.  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eAbout Danitrio Sho-Genkai Series:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Sho-Genkai was derived out of the Genkai series.
