- 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 : 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.
Thank you for showing, I think this will be another very pretty one 🥰😍😊
Most interesting, thanks so much for sharing. Seeing the effort in the process enhances appreciation of the craft. Increases my enjoyment of the nanako nuri pens I already have. It’s a very pretty strawberry that you are making.
I love seeing all the care and expertise you put into these pens. Thanks for sharing the process with us. You're amazing.
can you use other rounded media? like 1mm glass beads or something. might be quicker than the full sieving process
Yes you can try. Experiments with urushi are cool ;) I used many different “pattern agents” but for nanako nuri in traditional way i choose rapeseed. But one of my craziest pens in this general technique was made with pasta. ;))
@@TamenuriStudio just started working with urushi today, thanks for all the info you've put up on here and your website
@@zooml4959 Cool ! Don't hesitate to e-mail me, or DM me on instagram if you have any questions on the learning process ;)
I have noticed some of the other finishes use another layer of lacquer in another color, that they then polish down to reveal the seed pattern that's slightly raised. It occurs to me that another layer would solve the problem you mentioned about the lacquer breaking off when you scrape the seeds off, since it would cover and seep into any such defects as well. Have you ever tried that? I first saw this finish on the Kuroki Goishiten website, it's the only one they offer and it's a gorgeous teal pattern in black with off/in sides in a rusty orange. It's very clearly layered over several times there.
EDIT: oh nvm haha you talk about it at the end.
Can i ask you a question? Do you know what did they add in transperent urushi to make togidashi - nashiji , we add tung oil, turpentine but some people said its not good for drawing. Thanks and hopes you will answer my question
Another question from me again. 😅 Do you store your urushi tubes in the refrigerator or at room temperature?
Raw urushi in fridge I sealed string bag. Processed - room tempreture. I have a lot urushi (right now ~2.5 kg) and use a lot, so it keeps rotating often. And even if some is getting older, and cures slower - I use it for mixing with other batches and “downgrade” it in my processes.
I would be interested in what pens you use as a base? Do you order them polished or matte?
Most of my pens I turn myself from ebonite (Nikko Japan). From time to time I work on Ranga pens too. I always sand my pens before applying base layers (400 grit).
