Fountain pens are special and once filled it is very difficult to resell the item when returned. When you purchase a fountain pen, it is recommended that you test drive it with dipping the nib in the ink. If you use the cartridges supplied with the pen or if you fill it with ink, then in order for us to resell, we have to send it to the manufacturer's repair facility. We want to make sure that all of our customers when they buy from us get a brand new pen which is not used. Hence, we will charge you a nominal restocking fee of 20% to accommodate these repair and shipping charges to manufacturer's repair facility. We then sell these pens in our outlet store. Please note that the restocking fee is only for fountain pen which is filled with the ink. If you have any questions please do contact us.

Sailor Cylint Ballpoint Pen – The Elegance of Niigata Shikki in Hazy Silver and Gold IP

What makes these pens so special is the Ishime-nuri technique, a traditional Japanese lacquer art style from Niigata, known for its gritty, stone-like texture that results in a durable and scratch-resistant surface. Niigata Shikki lacquerware is characterized by a wealth of variation in colors and patterns, and is considered a "treasure trove of Kawari-nuri (unique lacquering styles)".

The creation of the Ishime-nuri barrel texture is a meticulous, multi-step process. First, the metal surface is roughened, and a specially formulated Urushi base coat is applied to ensure adhesion. Charcoal and dried Urushi powder are then unevenly sprinkled onto the surface to create the initial bumpy texture. After about a week of drying, the surface is wet polished, followed by a middle coat of Urushi to stabilize the powder and enhance durability. A second layer of powder is sprinkled to add further depth, and after another week of drying, the surface is repolished. A top coat of Urushi is applied until almost dry, at which point pigment (for Ruri) or tin powder (for Oborogin) is sprinkled on to give the pen its color. Excess powder is then removed through wet polishing. The color is stabilized with two additional Urushi coats applied at three-day intervals. Finally, the surface is polished using a paste of abrasive grain and oil, and a finishing polish is finger-rubbed to complete the lacquering process.

This intricate process results in the beautiful, tactile finishes you'll find in two stunning colors:

  • Oborogin (Hazy Silver)
  • Ruri (Lapis Lazuli Blue)
