Nanako-nuri urushi tutorial

Nanako-nuri is one of Tsugaru techniquest, from Aomori prefecture. It was developed in 17th or 18th century, and is still a very exciting technique both in final looks as well as in the process of creating it. Here I show step by step procedure of making nanako-nuri - the structure which makes the pattern. In future video I will show the layering process and sanding - the most critical parts of this technique.

Most pens I show are for sale, and the best way to buy them is to check out my Instagram and send me a message there. There are usually some pens stock and you can find them here : https://tamenuri.com/stock/

I'm Michael and I'm a fountain pen addict. I lacquer pens with urushi lacquer. I make fountain pens. On my channel, you will find tutorials, videos from my urushi workshop, presentation of techniques, tools and materials used in urushi craft. I am also showing pens lacquered by me and other artists. I review pens but mostly urushi and I focus on this aspect of a pen, not usual build, nibs and writing performance.
I am self-taught in this craft, most I know I do I learned from my own experience, trial and error. A lot of them. But also from Japanese books, and videos on urushi and other urushi artists.
