Scribo Piuma Urushi Hane Aka GT Fountain pen

The Scribo Piuma Urushi Hane Aka GT Fountain Pen is an extraordinary limited edition writing instrument that brings together the finest traditions of Italian fountain pen craftsmanship and the ancient Japanese art of Urushi lacquerwork. Limited to just 110 pieces worldwide, this exquisite fountain pen features a deep, luminous red Urushi lacquer finish complemented by elegant yellow gold accents. As the fifth creation in the exclusive Scribo Piuma Hane collection, following Hane #1, Hane Kuro, Hane Toruko, and Hane Murakumo, the Hane Aka celebrates the beauty, symbolism, and timeless elegance of the color red.

The name "Aka" means "red" in Japanese, a color deeply rooted in Japanese history and culture. Dating back to the Jōmon period, red lacquer was used to decorate objects with important symbolic meanings. Associated with fire, the sun, and life itself, red traditionally represents good fortune, prosperity, happiness, protection, and rebirth. It is also the iconic vermilion color of Japanese torii gates, which mark the transition between the everyday world and sacred spaces. With the Scribo Piuma Urushi Hane Aka, these centuries-old traditions are translated into a magnificent fountain pen that embodies passion, vitality, and artistic expression.

The captivating red finish of the Scribo Piuma Hane Aka Urushi Fountain Pen is achieved through the meticulous application of traditional Japanese Urushi lacquer. Thin layers of natural lacquer are carefully applied by hand to the resin cap, barrel, and nib holder, with each layer requiring patience, precision, and dedicated craftsmanship. This intricate process creates a beautifully glossy surface with remarkable depth and luminosity. Rather than simply reflecting light, the rich red lacquer appears to glow from within, revealing subtle variations and captivating reflections as the fountain pen moves in the light.

The distinctive Scribo Piuma design features an elegant oval silhouette with two carefully sculpted facets, creating a writing instrument that is both visually striking and comfortable to hold. The flowing lines of the fountain pen beautifully complement the depth of the Urushi lacquer, while the yellow gold nib and matching section ring provide a sophisticated contrast to the vibrant red finish. These warm gold accents enhance the overall harmony of the design, emphasizing the refined elegance of this exceptional writing instrument.

A particularly special detail of the Scribo Piuma Urushi Hane Aka Limited Edition is the presence of the artist's signature and the SCRIBO name, both written in Japanese katakana characters. These delicate markings represent the collaboration between Italian fountain pen manufacturing and Japanese lacquer artistry, celebrating the skill and dedication of the craftspeople responsible for each creation.

Beyond its exceptional appearance, the Scribo Piuma Hane Aka GT Fountain Pen delivers the outstanding writing performance for which SCRIBO is renowned. It is equipped with an exclusive SCRIBO gold nib, available in either 18-karat gold or flexible 14-karat gold. The 18k gold nib is offered in Extra Extra Fine, Extra Fine, Fine, Medium, Broad, and Double Broad widths, while the flexible 14k gold nib is available in Extra Fine, Fine, and Medium. Combined with a traditional 6.50 mm ebonite feed, these nibs provide a distinctive and expressive writing experience. The practical cartridge/converter filling system allows the fountain pen to be filled with bottled fountain pen ink or compatible ink cartridges.

Each Scribo Piuma Urushi Hane Aka Fountain Pen is accompanied by an exclusive handcrafted pen pouch made from authentic Japanese kimono silk. Carefully hand-sewn, this elegant accessory continues the dialogue between Italian and Japanese craftsmanship, offering a beautiful and protective home for the fountain pen. The use of traditional kimono silk adds another layer of cultural heritage and individuality to this remarkable collector's piece.

With production strictly limited to 110 pieces worldwide, the Scribo Piuma Urushi Hane Aka GT is an exceptional addition to any luxury fountain pen collection. Combining traditional Japanese Urushi lacquer, vibrant red symbolism, elegant yellow gold details, and SCRIBO's renowned gold nibs, this exclusive fountain pen is more than a writing instrument.
