Tsubaki Mon Kamakura Bori Fountain Pen. *Kamakura bori* is a traditional art form handed down 700 years ago from the Kamakura Period and is said to originate from the sculptors of Buddha and the lacquering on carved Buddhist objects. They were influenced by Chinese traditional lacquer carving (Tsuishy, Tsuikoki, Benibanaryokuba etc.). Kamakura bori is attractively hand carved from Katsura, Magnolia, and Ginkgo trees and then coated with many layers of special bright coloured lacquer. The most representative example of Kamakura bori uses special *Shumakinuri* lacquer in which a special powder of Makomo (wild rice) is sprinkled into a bright vermillion lacquer, producing a strong three dimensional impression of the sculpture. This special characteristic cannot be found in other lacquer wares. The Sailor *Kamakura bori* fountain pen uses this technique twice to produce this special writing instrument.
