Wancher Dream Pen Tsugaru-nuri Midori-age Raden

The Dream Pen Raden Kara-nuri is a masterpiece of Tsugaru-Urushi art. Every surface is built up, lacquered, sanded, and refined in numerous manual steps. Since the Kara-nuri technique requires a particularly thin layer of lacquer, the texture of the Raden inlays can be deliberately felt slightly.
The characteristic marks of the Shikake-bera, a special spatulating tool, remain visible – a sign of genuine craftsmanship and not a flaw.

Each fountain pen is unique with individual texture, depth, and radiance.

Raden Kara-nuri – Tsugaru Urushi in its most artistic form

Kara-nuri is one of the most demanding techniques of the Tsugaru-Urushi tradition from Aomori, Japan. It creates the typical patterns Shiro-age or Midori-age, which only become visible after the final sanding process.
The Raden technique complements this structure with inlaid mother-of-pearl pieces that shimmer in the light, giving the fountain pen exceptional depth.

The interplay of Kara-nuri and Raden creates a surface that is at once artistic, organic, and distinctive.

Note on the name "Midori-age": "Midori" means green, "age" means raised – it describes the greenish base color that becomes visible after sanding.

Design & Craftsmanship

The Dream Pen Raden Kara-nuri is made from ebonite and lacquered in multiple layers with Urushi.
Each layer is carefully applied, dried, sanded, and rebuilt – a process that takes weeks and demands utmost precision.

The combination of natural ebonite, traditional Urushi, and shimmering Raden makes each pen a portable work of art.

Writing Feel & Ergonomics

The fountain pen is well-balanced in hand and offers a pleasant, warm writing feel – typical for ebonite.
The airtight cap reliably protects the nib from drying out, making the Dream Pen suitable for everyday use.

Nib & Writing Feel

The Dream Pen is available with a high-quality #6 JoWo stainless steel nib in M / Medium.

This allows the writing behavior to be perfectly adapted to personal preferences.
