Description: We made a new pattern of "Ajiro" (bamboo knitting) based on Japanese folk tale "Shita-Kiri Suzume". Suzume (sparrows) put treasure in a small bamboo trunk (in Japanese "tsuzura") and gave it to a kind oldman in this story. The whole body of pen has been made like this "tsuzura" and add some treasure and sparrow. After making a seam by gold, Ajiro pattern was drawn by Shu-ai Urushi. Treasure and a sparrow on a grip section were done by Gin-Yuji heaping up technique and sprinkled gold and silver powders with colored Urushi and polished as final process.
