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..
