Description: The symbol of spring in Japan is the Sakura or Cherry Blossom. During this time, the beauty of the cherry blossoms is reflected under the gentle sunlight. This beauty is an ethereal, fleeting moment that we want to remember forever. Through these fountain pens, we hope to remind you of that moment. The Design - OMOIDE SAKURA"Omoide" means memory or recollection in Japanese. Certain memories of cherry blossoms remain long after their last bloom. Starting with the design's initial name, "Kawazu Zakura" which refers to the type of early blooming cherry blossom. Now we want to remember that while the impermanence of cherry blossoms adds to their beauty, we also desire a physical reminder of their existence. The Omoide Sakura was inspired by the desire to preserve the cherry blossom in its physical form, which we hoped to represent through the subtle design. Echizen Urushi - ORIGIN Echizen Urushi is made in the Echizen region of Fukui Prefecture, Japan. The lacquer used to make Echizen Urushi is produced from the sap of the urushi tree, which is native to Japan and has been used in lacquerware production for over 9000 years. Echizen Urushi is known for its high quality and durability, as well as its beautiful, lustrous finish. The lacquer is applied in thin layers and each layer must be allowed to dry completely before the next one is applied. This process can take several months to complete. The Technique - Kindai Maki-e The Echizen Urushi artisans apply lacquer onto the body of the fountain pen and decorate it using the Modern Maki-e Technique - derived from the historic Maki-e technique. While the secrets of the Modern Maki-e technique cannot be revealed as each one is modified by the specific artisan, it is clear that the basic technique by itself results in beautifully designed fountain pens.
