Taiyo (The Sun) is the first edition of Meraki collection crafted by master Yamanoshita using Togidashi technique.
Witnessing the movement of the world while traveling as a peddler, the artisan himself took those changes as an inspiration and incorporated them into the design of his artwork.
In these editions, Sunlight and Moonlight are the inspiring motif.
The modern world is sometimes overwhelmed with the advancing industrialization and urbanization, and we might begin to lose our connection with nature. The artisan created this design with the hope of reminding people about how important nature is.

About Togidashi Technique
Using the traditional 研ぎ出し - Togidashi (burnished-raised) technique, the artisan created this design through a long process of Urushi coating, sharpening, and polishing. In this technique, first, a natural Urushi base is painted and left to dry. After that, other multiple coats of color Urushi are applied.
Then the Roiro Urushi (black lacquer) is painted and left to dry. The surface is then burnished with charcoal until the design is revealed and followed by many layers of Suki Urushi (transparent Urushi). Finally, a polishing step is repeated many times until a shiny and glossy finish is achieved.
Dream Pen Taiyo and Tsuki are made into two colors - Red and Blue.
The fountain pen is equipped with either stainless steel or 18K gold nib.
Below are the starting prices with stainless steel nib option but you can upgrade to 18K gold nib in the product listing.
