When the layer has dried, its suface is polished until smooth and thereafter the Sabi layer is applied. This is polished and applied again to create the illusion of roughness. Lastly, several more layers of Urushi are applied and polished for color and a metallic look.

The pen comes in a beautiful wooden box with converter, ink cartridges, duster and certificate. The pen has a large 21kt gold nib, available in sizes Medium or Broad.

Only 88 pieces of each color in the Wabi Sabi range are made worldwide.
