The Custom 845 is meticulously crafted using traditional Urushi lacquer techniques, where multiple layers of natural lacquer are carefully applied, cured, and polished to achieve a deep, lustrous finish. The newly introduced Prussian Blue, known in Japanese as 紺青 (Kon-jo), is an exceptionally challenging color to create.
Achieving this rich, vibrant shade requires expert blending of pigments with Urushi lacquer, resulting in a masterpiece of depth and elegance. This remarkable writing instrument is designed to suit a variety of writing styles, featuring a beautifully crafted
two-toned 18k gold nib and complemented by luxurious gold accents. The Custom 845 seamlessly combines artistry and performance, making it both a treasured writing companion and a distinguished heirloom.
