Sailor Limited Edition "Kamakura-bori" Hanabishi Fountain Pen

 

Kamakura Bori

"Kamakura Bori" is a traditional art from the Kamakuri Period 700 years ago. During that period many Buddhist temples were built."Kamakura bori" is said to originate from the sculptors of Buddha and the lacquering on carved Buddhist objects."Kamakura-bori" is hand carved from Mognolia and Ginkgo trees and then coated with many layers of special bright coloured lacquer. "Kamakura-bori" uses special "Shumakinuri" lacquer in which a special powder of Makomo (wild rice ) is sprinkled into a bright vermillion lacquer, producing a strong three dimensional impression of the sculpture.and cannot be found in other lacquer products.
