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)
