Writer Long SKULL　

A skull is put on the top of the cap on the barrel which is heaped up with charcoal powder. A skull is finished with vermeil (gold plated on silver). A clip is made of black urushi lacquer baked on and heaped up with a little gold. The clip is made to look like a backbone and the face of the skull goes around to the back of the cap so that you can’t tell it is a skull when you put it in, but when you take it out, you can tell it is a skull.
