Urushi: French touch in a raden pen from Rue du Stylo

[Pierre---]

Raden (mother-of-pearl embedded in black Urushi) can be flashy. I wanted to make a soft raden, for a classy but not showy pen. Sweet round mop dots of different diameters, some as little as 1mm, no gold but a silver nashiji powder, like clouds in the night. I choose a matching clip made of sterling silver with a thick piece of mother-of-pearl. As often with Urushi, the pen has a high gloss finish. Quite hard to photography, I am not sure the pics show it as it is...

Enjoy!

I looked at the picture before I read your description and thought, "Wow, what I lovely non-flashy subtle pen that grows in appreciation over time." You are spot on, excellent work!

I do not understand your question, Solaris. I use a brush like everywhere else!
