These pens were deigned by applying Tamenuri technique upon Ishime. A rough irregular surface of the barrel is achieved with Ishime-kanshitsu technique.
"Tame" means "pool" and "nuri" refers to the lacquer coating process. You can actually see through the layers of clear urushi lacquer as if you were looking into a pool.
When the process is finished, you can still see the base surface of red urushi. After this coating process, craftsmen polish the surface over and over by hand for months in order to attain greater transparency, allowing you to clearly see the underlying red urushi surface.
