Danitrio Tame-nuri Red Roiro-migaki smooth finish with 18ct flex Goldnib Pre-owned, and in excellent condition, no scratches, or dings. Please check my eBay feedback for other pre-owned pens I have sold. Danitrio offered the Tame-nuri with two different finishes, Roiro-migaki which is a smooth, high gloss finish, and Hana-nuri which is a more natural, almost matte finish. The Roiro-migaki has a lot more work than Hana-nuri, with extra polishing steps required to achieve the high gloss finish. The pen offered here features the high gloss Roiro-migaki finish. This depth of color and shading are the primary attractions to tame-nuri, but as used on a pen, another aspect of the urushi lacquer finish becomes apparent. The lacquer has a very warm, organic feel in the hand. Holding one of these pens is a true pleasure, as the lacquer warms to your hand in use. Normally, urushi lacquer is applied by a master urushi craftsman; it can take up to seven years to achieve this level of experience. It is a very specialized field, as you can imagine! Danitrio has taken a different approach to their urushi lacquer pens. Rather than employing a master urushi craftsman, who are more experienced with lacquering somewhat larger items such as bowls, trays, and so forth, Danitrio have turned to one of their maki-e masters to lacquer their pens.
