This arrived today; I'm not sure even Emy knows what this pen is called, but it's something like:
Leonardo Oficina Italiana Momento Zero Grande 2019 Urushi Exclusive for Pen Venture Aka Tamenuri by Tamenuri Studios.
Gorgeous pen. I'll post more with it later. I feel so lucky to have gotten one of these!

Those are my fingerprints on the bottom of the pen; I'll take better photos next time. Just a preview....

Is this a custom job?

Do tell us a bit more about how this pen came about.

I'm planning to do a video review about this pen, but yeah, its story is quite interesting. Ebonite from Japan sent to Leonardo in Italy to turn into a MZG (without blind cap) then sent to Pen Venture in Romania and on to Tamenuri Studios in Poland to get the Urushi treatment (with more ingredients coming form Japan), then back to Italy via Romania for final assembly and then to Romania for sale before another half world trip to get here to Hawaii! They made a total of 10 pens - 7 offered for public sale. Emy from Pen Venture put the whole thing together and Michal from Tamenuri Studios does amazing work with Salvatore and company making it all possible and doing all the pen work. I got the 14k elastic EF nib on mine and enjoying it so far. Pen Venture has a youtube post on the pen:

It's really a striking pen.
