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.

 

👏 Well done!

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! 

It is my favorite, and most used nib --- a jowo #6, customized by Kirk Speer to a 0.2mm PO nib. A terrific writer, it lays down a nicely fine line at the lightest touch with a gentle and pleasant scritch scritch. Also great for drawing with both fine lines, and flipped, broad wet strokes. If I could only have one, this is it.

What have you done with the cat? It looks half dead.

I saw a review of it here, and someone suggested Tyrian Purple was close to it. I got that ink for my birthday.

I endeavour to be frank and truthful in what I write, show or otherwise present, when I relate my first-hand experiences that are not independently verifiable; and link to third-party content where I can, when I make a claim or refute a statement of fact in a thread. If there is something you can verify for yourself, I entreat you to do so, and judge for yourself what is right, correct, and valid. I may be wrong, and my position or say-so is no more authoritative and carries no more weight than anyone else's here.

My dear A Smug Dill,

Having seen your ink reviews

I think: smaller, still
