on saleSCRIBO PIUMA Fountain Pen - Hane Kuro - Tamenuri Platinum (Limited Edition)

A genuine touch of Japanese artistry has arrived in Bologna.

There is a color that slips through your grasp, like a thought dissolving at dawn. A green hidden within black, vivid and mysterious, revealing itself only to those who know how to pause and truly see. This is how PIUMA HANE Kuro was born — the second gem in our PIUMA Urushi collection. Following the reddish-brown hue of the first edition, this new creation draws its lifeblood and mystery from the night: a dark, liquid, profound green that emerges like an unexpected reflection, like a whisper held in shadow.

Each surface of HANE Kuro is the result of an ancient ritual, carried out with the patience and meditation of the Japanese Tamenuri technique. Layers of natural lacquer are carefully applied and fused together, and beneath the black, a green soul glows — shifting with the light, with time, with the gaze of the observer. This alchemy comes to life in the hands of Arakawa-san, the Urushi master, who shapes each pen with slow, solemn gestures. Hariya-san seals its identity by delicately inscribing the names of Arakawa-san and SCRIBO in Katakana ideograms: a signature that doesn’t shout but endures. Finally, Rabea Gebler oversees every detail before each piece returns to Bologna for the writing test and the final touch of perfection.

As with the first edition, HANE Kuro comes with a handmade pouch created exclusively for SCRIBO by Marco Montalti, hand-crafted from authentic Japanese kimono silk and haori ribbons. Every detail tells the story of a meeting: between Italy and Japan, between writing and craftsmanship, between the visible and the invisible.

An embodiment of timeless artistry and tradition, the PIUMA Urushi fountain pens are creations of rare beauty, blending Italian elegance with the ancient and exceptional Japanese Tamenuri technique.

The Tamenuri technique is different from other techniques, as the final translucent layer becomes clearer with time and enhances the colour underneath, bringing out the depth of the multiple layers of colour carefully applied by hand. The final translucent layer must be brushed on by hand, and each speck of dust needs to be removed with a needle before curing.

Limited to only 50 pieces with platinum trim.

This SCRIBO PIUMA Hane Tamenuri fountain pen features platnium trim, and fills with a cartridge/converter (included). It is fitted with an in-house made 14k gold nib, in size Flexible Fine, with an ebonite feed.
