Pen Wing Urushi Art is Pen Wing Stationery’s original technique that we develop to elevate vintage and regular fountain pens to give them a more unique look, design, and value. Pen Wing Urushi Art techniques are used for vintage and regular pens which are done by screen printing or printed decorative ultra-thin golden/ colorful paper on the polished Urushi surface of the pens; Then applied transparent layers of Urushi called Ki-narinuri over and over by craftsman’s hand one by one. We use not only transparent but Urushi mixing with many colors as well. We do not use the traditional Maki-e technique to do paintings with colors, instead, we use ultra-thin decorative papers for the art on the pen. The process is similar to or “Kindai” Maki-e, which is done by many prominent Fountain pen manufacturers. However, we do not just stop there, we go beyond our efforts using real gold, silver, Raden, etc, and use Urushi in different stages of the process. We elevate the value of the screen maki-e by using different techniques and finally, the complicated process turns into art. We call it our “Pen Wing Modern Art”, not maki-e but our own art. We do not like to categorize our art to be Maki-e but simply it’s our innovative modern art for the new generation, where old tradition meets modern touch. After each layer is done the pens are kept in for days for the drying process. Under each layer of Urushi Ki-narinuri, we apply gold or silver powder to achieve a special carved texture on the exterior of the pen. For the final finishing, we coat the exterior of the pen with a last layer of Ki-Urushi for the longevity of the real gold or silver powder used during the process. The whole process takes 10-20 days. Please understand that sometimes some irregularity you may see on layering which is because all done by hand. PEN WING URUSHI ART PROCESS. We design and customize each pen with Pen Wing Urushi Art processes. The design is made by sprinkling or spraying wet lacquer (Urushi) with metallic powder, usually gold or silver on High Graded decals like the ultra-thin decorative papers that are used instead of painting them.. Pen Wing Urushi Art is inspired by Japanese art and we took color inspiration from Japanese culture and history. When we customize our fountain pen, we are not only applying vibrant and eye-catching colors on our pens, but we also apply stories and cultural significance. PS: Please note that we do not use all the materials at once but it all depends on what kind of art we are trying to do. OUR STEPS OF APPLYING PEN WING URUSHI ART. 1 Applying a sufficient amount of layering with Urushi. 2 Usage of solid metal powder usually real gold and silver for decoration. 3 We also use decorative papers, Raden (Mother of Pearl), etc. To create a motif that you can see on the surface. 4 Follow the modern techniques of applying Urushi to give it a glossy look. Along the process of applying multiple layering of Urushi, we use the gold, silver powder and then polish it, then apply Urushi all over again. (usage of the materials depend on the artwork we are trying to achieve). 5 All these processes can be different depends on what kind of art we are trying to do. 6 All the decorations are done by human touch and feel and most importantly our artistic sense of creating something new.
