Urushi has been used in traditional Japanese arts and crafts for thousands of years. The quality of this natural material is unrivalled even today – thanks to its resistance, its intensity and its auratic beauty which instantly casts a spell over onlookers.
The designs of the mystic leaves and bright leaves models are based on the transformation of the visible structures of leaves onto the fountain pens using the properties of the urushi varnish. This transformation does not occur by simply painting the leaves on the surfaces of the fountain pens. The corresponding structures in the surface of the instruments are rather created through the specific properties of the varnish and special paintbrush techniques. At the same time, the nature of the varnish allows these structures to take on their own completely unique design.
In the bright leaves model the components have been gold-plated using the PVD process. The initial layers of the urushi varnish are then applied. The structuring process is incorporated into the varnish using a paintbrush and pure alcohol. After drying, subsequent layers of the urushi varnish are applied and then polished. The bright leaves model features a gold-plated valve and clip. Created by Manfred Schmid, Germany.
