Danitrio Roiro-migaki in Lime Green on Takumi Fountain Pen
Danitrio Roiro-migaki in Lime Green on Takumi Fountain Pen
This pen is inspired by the colors of nature. The roiro-migaki finish allows for the lime green to be depicted visually so purely and homogeneous over the pen. Roiro-migaki is when a non-oil-based urushi called roiro-urushi is applied on the outer layer of the pen.
About Danitrio Takumi Fountain Pen Series:
The Takumi is Danitrio series pen that is cigar-shaped. Takumi means "good design or craft" in Japanese.
This pen is furnished with an 18k Gold, two-toned #6 nib. What has been described by many Danitrio collectors as the fireball nib is an image of “Kaen-Kohai” which is a flame-shaped halo of “Fudo Myoo” (Acala, the God of Fire). This halo is commonly painted on the back of Japanese Buddhist statues.
