Patina
The fusion of a coloring technique from Takaoka, Toyama Prefecture with over 400 years of heritage, and innovative technologies continually being developed there, has given birth to metal coloring offering a rich range of colors.
The brown patina we have chosen this time, is “Hanmon-Kujyaku (mottled peacock)”, an original color inspired by the traditional “Nuka-yaki” metal coloring technique. Controlling chemicals and flame heat, chemical reaction is used to bring out vivid colors on brass.
Each piece colored by hand, and the same kind of coloring cannot be achieved by painting.
Furthermore, this traditional coloring technique hitherto only possible with cast metal, was successfully evolved to make the expression possible on sheet copper thinner than 1 millimeter, enabling Sailor Pen to create writing instruments with this metal coloring method.
This metal coloring gets even better with age, like a pair of denims does the more you wear it.
