Iro-joukei Sky of Reimei Limited Edition fountain pen by Taccia – a seasonal model for precision writing
Literally meaning “Sky of the rising sun”, the Iro-joukei Sky of Reimei features colours depicting the sun rising after a deep dark night in January. In this model we find all the symbolism of the rising sun so dear to the Japanese, synonymous with the newness of things.
Made from ebonite, the fountain pen has a long, perfect dodecagonal shape and is coated with several layers of urushi lacquer, giving it an unparalleled brilliance and shine that enhances the instrument.
This lacquer, which comes exclusively from the sap of the Chinese lacquer tree (an Asian tree), has been used for thousands of years as protection once it has been applied to objects and dried. It has an incredible capacity to resist corrosion, scratches and even impacts. As a result, this type of fountain pen has an exceptional lifespan that can easily be extended over several generations.
The brand has adorned its model with a superb clip in a stylish silhouette. Gold-plated, it contrasts superbly with the black colour. The threading of the section is in metal, a testament to the brand’s seriousness.
The Master lacquerer has affixed his signature and the model number to the top of the body, since he designed 88 of them worldwide.
Its nib:
The two-tone 14-carat gold nib is made by Sailor and is available in sizes EF, F, MF, M, B, MS and Z.
You will receive your Iro-joukei Sky of Reimei Limited Edition fountain pen by Taccia on a velvet fabric in a wooden box, accompanied by its converter, two cartridges and a delightful kimono case that will allow you to store it and have it with you every day. As Taccia chooses the kimono case randomly, the colour of the one shown in the photos will not necessarily match that of the one you receive.

Je recherchais un “compagnon d’écriture” quotidien qui soit aussi une expérience unique, avec un objet sobre, élégant, original et raffiné.
Encré avec la Sailor Shikiori Miruai (vert foncé), j’ai été immédiatement séduit par la fiabilité et la douceur de la plume.
Je recommande donc sans difficulté les autres itérations de la gamme.
Encore merci, cher Virgil, de nous avoir confié votre expérience de ce fabuleux stylo-plume dont vous avez fait l’acquisition ainsi que de cette encre Sailor, il est vrai, d’une qualité et d’une couleur exceptionnelles.
Nous sommes très heureux que l’Iro-joukei corresponde à ce que vous recherchiez :)
Très beau stylo, avec une belle transition du noir au rouge. La plume glisse toute seule, c’est un vrai régal !
Nous sommes ravis que vous soyez satisfait par votre Iro-joukei !
Merci d’avoir pris le temps de nous en faire part :)
