Urushi lacquer comes from the sap of the Asian lacquer tree. When applied to the pen barrel, it hardens andabsorbs moisture from the air, resulting in a shiny coat. Creating an Urushi lacquer fountain pen is an exactingand complex process because the lacquer must be carefully applied to the pen barrel in numerous hand painted
layers. This traditional Japanese technique ultimately enhances both the pens beauty and longevity. Urushicoating will withstand corrosion from water, acids, alcohol, and even temperature changes, making the Custom845 the perfect pen to use every day and pass down to future generations.
