Handcrafted from ebonite and finished with layers of natural urushi lacquer, the pen reflects the philosophy that made Ohashido one of Japan's most respected artisan pen makers. Produced in extremely limited numbers, each pen was individually finished by hand rather than mass-produced, giving every example its own unique character.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino;\"\u003eThe name Akatame-Nuri (赤溜塗り) refers to a traditional urushi lacquering technique in which deep red lacquer is built up beneath translucent layers of urushi. As the layers are polished and refined, the finish develops remarkable depth, allowing subtle variations in color to emerge depending on the angle of light. The result is a rich red-brown appearance that seems to glow from within rather than simply sitting on the surface.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino;\"\u003eWhat makes the finish especially appealing is how it evolves over time. As the transparent outer layers mature, the underlying red tones become increasingly pronounced, giving the pen a living quality that changes with age and use. This gradual transformation is one of the reasons urushi enthusiasts prize Akatame-Nuri finishes so highly.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: georgia, palatino;\"\u003eThe pen's ebonite construction provides warmth and comfort in hand, while the urushi finish adds both durability and visual depth. Combined with Ohashido's meticulous hand-finishing and limited production, the Akatame-Nuri embodies a level of craftsmanship rarely seen in modern pen manufacturing. Rather than relying on elaborate decoration, its beauty comes from the depth of the lacquer, the quality of the materials, and the skill of the artisan behind it.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: Ohashido\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Ebonite, Urushi\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFilling mechanism\u003c\/strong\u003e: \u003cspan\u003eConverter or Cartridge (Sailor Proprietary Converter \u0026amp; Cartridge)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeed\u003c\/strong\u003e: Plastic\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize\u003c\/strong\u003e: 129 mm (From the Cap) \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 14.5\u003cspan\u003e g\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNib\u003c\/strong\u003e: 14K Gold Nagahara Nib\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJ.S.U OHASHIDO x SAILOR 14K SPECIALITY NIBS PERFORMANCE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJ.S.U Ohashido's ebonite fountain pens are known for their high-quality nibs, which provide a smooth and enjoyable writing experience. The brand has collaborated with Sailor, a well-respected Japanese pen company, to produce nibs that are durable, consistent, and well-balanced. \u003cbr\u003eThe writing experience with a J.S.U Ohashido x Sailor fountain pen is said to be very consistent, with a subtle degree of scratchiness due to Sailor's most famous feature which is the Nib's Natural paper feedback across the paper. The nib is flexible enough to provide some line variation, but not so much that it becomes difficult to control. The pen's balanced weight and comfortable grip allow for hours of writing without hand fatigue, and the ink flow is reliable and consistent, so there are no skipping or blobby lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany Fountain pen users prefer a butter-smooth writing experience however die-hard Sailor nibs fans found their \"paper-feedback\" features to be more nostalgic than a butter-smooth writing nib.
