Manu Propria - Kiseru Style - Kuro Ishi Hada

[Manupropria]

Yesterday I finished another ebonite "Kiseru" style fountain pen.
The pen is finished with urushi lacquer, a technique I call "ishi-hada-nuri". Stone surface lacquer.
The regular term for urushi stone surface is "ishime-ji-nuri" but since the result I wanted to achive is the worn surface of a jet black stone found in the Kamogawa-River in Kyoto Japan, call it "ishi-hada-nuri".
Cap: Length 140.00 mm, diameter 20.00 mm, Barrel: Lenght 130.00 mm, diameter 16.00 mm, Weight: 34.00 gr

Kiseru (煙管 kiseru) is a Japanese smoking pipe traditionally used for smoking kizami, a finely shredded tobacco product resembling human hair. The word kiseru comes from the Khmer word "ksher".
