This pen was lacquered by one of Omote-san's pupils, Hakuzan Taniguchi, that learned this difficult technique and has created his own rendition of it, producing a design with significantly pronounced patterns and textures on the pen, which truly represents why the bark of a cherry blossom tree symbolizes resilience, longevity, and hidden inner strength,

About the Artisan:
This pen was hand-painted by Hakuzan Taniguchi. Born in 1959. Inspired by his father who painted urushi himself, he aspired to one day be a maki-e artisan. He is recognized by the Japanese Government as a Dento Kogei-shi, which an honorary title meaning "master of traditional crafts" and is given only to a select few artisans who have a significant contribution to their craft. Many of his Maki-E works have been accepted and rewarded at national art exhibitions. He was an apprentice of Masanori Omote (another Danitrio artisan). In addition to pens, he applies a lot of his maki-e techniques to tea ceremony items.
