Palisades introduces it’s latest fountain pen collections: YUZEN DRY URUSHI LE (脱乾漆) and YUZEN. 

Inspired by the centuries-old Japanese technique of making Buddhist statues by mixing urushi lacquer, cloth, and special clay, Palisades utilizes this same technique that has prompted us to develop a line of uniquely fascinating fountain pens.
 
Dating back many centuries, buddha statues have been made of metal or cast iron, which tend to be very heavy and difficult to move.

With time-honored skills; our lacquer artist located in Wajima Japan, was inspired to design a pen with a silk-like wavy or delicate spiral surface, and specially applying a lacquer technique called Dry Urushi. This application is one of the finest, and most durable coating processes and is now featured on our handcrafted YUZEN DRY URUSHI LE fountain pens. 
 
For a limited time, Palisades is offering a specially handcrafted YUZEN DRY URUSHI LE pen barrel made with Wajima Dry Urushi, available in RED barrel.


Additionally, we offer a standard YUZEN collection that features the same design pattern as the YUZEN DRY URUSHI LE, yet are available in many colors and are crafted with machined resin and coated with our Urushi finish.  
 
All Palisades YUZEN fountain pens utilize an 18K two-tone nib made by a famous Japanese pen manufacturer and are featured in five pen nib widths: F, M, B, Z and MS.
