Diamond Aka Tamenuri 钻石-赤溜

Hand-finished with exquisite layers of Urushi lacquer, the Cathay Pens Diamond exemplifies a unique fusion of design and craftsmanship. Each piece is meticulously lacquered by master artisans in Luoyang, the historic capital of China and a renowned center of traditional craftsmanship. Accompanying the pen is a beautifully crafted, hand-sewn Chinese fabric pen pouch and a finely made wooden box, making the Cathay Pens Diamond not only a writing instrument but a celebration of heritage and artistry.

Tamenuri is a technique that layers translucent colored lacquer over a darker base. Over time, the top layer gradually reveals the underlying color, creating a rich, warm depth that becomes more beautiful with age.
