The Nanako-nuri Ballpoint Pen – Nanako uses “Pure Malt” oak barrel wood and features a surface finished in Nanako-nuri, a textural technique within the Tsugaru-nuri lacquer tradition. The seed-like texture is formed through delicate impressions, requiring masterful polishing to avoid blurring the relief. Finished by hand in Kobayashi Lacquerware’s workshop, it presents a quiet elegance and smooth balance, suited to daily writing with lasting refinement.
