Cigar Piccolo AYAKASHI

This is a “Ayakashi”, Japanese folk monster, depicts a monster trying to escape by tearing the pen body.
The exposed parts of the underlying fabric of the Negoro style were made to look like a rift. And the monster peeping for outside world from the rift is designed. The vermilion color used for the base and the detailed drawings such as the amulet pasted on the crevices and nails peeking through the gap also enhance the sense of Ayakashi looks.

Cigar Piccolo ONE-EYED JAPANESE DEMON

The pen has been finished with Shu-roiro, and the part around the crack was heaped up with the powder made of dry urushi.

Again, we used Ginyuji technique (method of heaping the picture up with silver powder) for Dokkosho, a talisman used to keep evil spirits away, on the backside of the pen. The monster itself was depicted in Taka maki-e technique. All the details, including the direction of the gaze coming from the crack were carefully discussed with the client.

The irregularities in the surface are first made using Urushi. Another thin layer of Urushi is then added. It is finished with Fuki-Urushi after sprinkling and affixing a Shu(red) pigment.

Cigar Long WORLD of CHAOS　

The motifs are mysterious creatures that have been resurrected from the Paleozoic Era, which does not exist in this world, or have wandered in from another dimension and been mutated and synthesized.
The base color is matte black of charcoal powder. On top of that, we used silver Taka-Maki-e and heaping up expression of black Urushi lacquer in some parts. A slight smoked shade in silver Taka-Maki-e enhances the three-dimensional effect. I think that the dry and grotesque atmosphere was brought out by using monochrome coloring throughout.

Cigar Piccolo HONKATAJI Heki-tame

Since the it is covered with cloth, the diameter will be about 1mm bigger than the original one.
To express “antique” or “old” looks, creat some cracks in the lacquer to reveal the cloth underneath, we create a texture that looks like it has been used for many years.
Because it is handmade, the shape and size of the cracks design will not be the same. Basically, there is one crack across the cap and body, two long and short cracks on the body, and one or two cracks on the grip section. 
≪Please note that, due to the use of colored lacquer made from natural materials, slight variations in the final color may occur.≫
