Dream Pen Tamesukashi - Toumei In continuation of the Tamesukashi pen series, the Tamesukashi Toumei stands out as the inaugural demonstrator Urushi fountain pen designed to celebrate and preserve the artistry beneath. In Japanese, "Toumei" (透明) translates to "transparent," aptly capturing the essence of this pen. The pen's unique transparency is achieved through the use of ABS, allowing the exquisite artistry beneath to shine through. The application of Suki Urushi not only enhances this transparency but also provides a protective layer, resulting in a pen that is visually stunning and robust. Ivy Design Kiei Tamesukashi Ivy, a new expression in the series, where the artistry of nature takes on a more intricate form. Using an Ivy leaf, the artisan highlights the veins and striations of each individual leaf by immortalizing it through Urushi. The stem extends beyond the leaf, and wraps around the Dream Pen shape, as if the leaf itself has grown since the artisan first carefully applied it onto the surface. This symbolizes the quiet strength of nature as it weaves its way upward in search of light. This refined detail not only enhances the pen’s organic beauty but also serves as a metaphor for resilience, continuity, and the unending bond between tradition and innovation. ABS for Dream Pen base From Ebonite to ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene), we found that the durability of material makes the whole difference for fountain pens. ABS material is one of the kind of plastic that is strongly resistant against chemicals, and heat, and physically sturdy. Unlike the other type of plastics which most of us imagine as easy-to-break and disposable, ABS for our fountain pen base is tough material that can be used for many years. Especially since it is coated with Urushi, the lifespan can be considered significantly improved.
