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)\".\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis intricate process results in the beautiful, tactile finishes you'll find in two stunning colors:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\n\u003cu\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOborogin (Hazy Silver)\u003cu\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\n\u003cu\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRuri (Lapis Lazuli Blue)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCYLINT Niigata Shikki \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBallpoint Features:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul type=\"disc\"\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"list-style-type: none;\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"list-style-type: none;\"\u003e\n\u003cul type=\"square\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eTwist type\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eAvailable in 2 colors: Oborogin (Hazy Silver) and \u003cstrong\u003eRuri (Lazuli Blue)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eBarrel: Stainless Steel with Ishime-nuri lacquering\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eGold IP plated trim\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"MsoNormal\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e0.7mm Black ink\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003cu\u003e\u003c\/u\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Sailor Pens","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42282670063734,"sku":"SR_15-3504-248","price":392.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0046\/3421\/4518\/files\/SailorCylintballpointPen-NiigataShikkiLapisLazuliblue.png?v=1776390190","url":"https:\/\/www.penboutique.mom\/products\/sailor-cylint-ballpoint-pen-niigata-shikki-lapis-lazuli-blue-gold-ip","provider":"Pen Boutique Ltd ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
