Wancher Dream Pen Aizu Urushi Bokashi-nuri Tsubomi Fountain Pen

A Tsubomi is a flower on the cusp of blooming, representing all the hope and untold potential that it can hold before it reveals everything to the rest of the world. The soft pink gradient color across this pen evokes this feeling, and extends it, making something that should last only a moment, last an entire lifetime.

Bokashi-nuri

For painters, creating a gradient, or a gradation, is difficult, because a smooth transition from one shade to another (i.e. light blue to dark blue) can be easily disturbed by an incorrect mixture of paint, or an accidental twitch of a finger. This is even more difficult when it comes to using Urushi (raw lacquer), because the texture and coloration of lacquer is far less predictable than modern paint.

Additionally, the Urushi changes colors and brightness during the maturation process, which means that the Bokashi (gradient) may mature into a completely different pattern than it was originally. In this case, the Master Artisan will be forced to start everything from the very beginning. Since each piece is applied by hand, no two gradations are exactly the same, and every piece displays its own unique character and expression.

Note: Each Aizu Urushi pen is entirely handcrafted. No two are exactly alike, making every pen a one-of-a-kind work of art. The pen you receive will differ slightly from product photos—yet it will be uniquely yours.
