OK. There you go.

No haiku written with it;

pen is not inked yet.

One more, thanks for endulging me. Tried to write the syllables per line and by color, first the blue then then orange, which in hindsight is not a good approach.

Urushi is not

I’m glad you found it. Interesting to try different pens. Maybe that would be useful when the thought changes, or some such thing. I need to be in bed.

Urushi is a

lacquer; by metonymy,

its application.

 

Smoothly polishing

each layer after curing

is just one method.

 

Maki-e is a

different thing. Urushi

on top protects it.

Had to laugh at the first one in particular, because the pen I just won (with the minimum bid ) on eBay yesterday isn't going to get here for at least a MONTH....   (Not sure what the issue is -- I've never had this sort of problem with this particular seller before....)

Wow, this Kirk Speer nib looks like a Sailor Special Nib Naginata Concord: nib heavily turned downward, creating an EF or finer tip for normal writing, whereas in reverse the downward part becomes a very broad brush. (This is effectively a reverse Fude nib.) Excellent!
