TSUGARU-NURI > KARA-NURI With over 350 years of history, Kara-nuri is one of the most unique Urushi paintings of the well-known Tsugaru-nuriI from Hirosaki in Aomori Prefecture. The world famous Fuji Apples are originally grown here. The artisans here use special spatulas to make unique irregular patterns of 48 steps. Hirosaki is the only source for this Kara-nuri in Japan and probably in the world as well.   KR5-BK KR5-BG KR5-BL KR5-RD KR5-RR KR5-GR Model Type Nib Size MSRP In U.S. KR5-BK Roiro-migaki Finished Fountain pen 18K gold Nib F.M.B.S. $660.00 KR5-BG Roiro-migaki Finished Fountain pen 18K gold Nib F.M.B.S. $660.00 KR5-BL Roiro-migaki Finished Fountain pen 18K gold Nib F.M.B.S. $660.00 KR5-RD Roiro-migaki Finished Fountain pen 18K gold Nib F.M.B.S. $660.00 KR5-RR Roiro-migaki Finished Fountain pen 18K gold Nib F.M.B.S. $660.00 KR5-GR Roiro-migaki Finished Fountain pen 18K gold Nib F.M.B.S. $660.00
