An unboxing, introduction to, and initial impressions of two new fountain pens in my collection from Tamenuri Studio. The are both urushi pens made by Michal Kulka @TamenuriStudio. The first features the nashiji-nuri technique with a gradient of gold particles and the second is gold hakane-nuri where the brush strokes are left visible. The base of both pens is Nikko ebonite that Michal also turns himself. I compare the pens to the Pelikan M1000 Maki-e Dragon Limited Edition to show their size and differences in construction.
