Inspiration

The Piuma Hane Murakumo represents the latest development of the Bologna-based brand in collaboration with Japanese Urushi Artists. Instead of the familiar Tamenuri finish, this edition introduces a rare technique called Nuritate, where the final look is shaped by the process itself rather than by the artist's hand. Its name, Murakumo, meaning "gathering clouds," reflects the soft, organic patterns created naturally during production.

Design & Materials

Design-wise, the pen is shaped by the soot of a candle flame, with very little intervention from the artist. The process begins with a layer of white Urushi lacquer applied to the pen's surface. The pen is then held over a candle flame, allowing soot to settle naturally onto the lacquer. The lacquer cures without sanding or polishing, preserving every mark left by the process.

The result is a raw, textured finish where no two pens are alike. Each piece celebrates the subtle imperfections that make traditional Urushi craftsmanship so distinctive.

Piuma Hane Murakumo is available with either Scribo's 18k gold nib in Extra Extra Fine, Extra Fine, Fine, Medium, Broad and BB, or a 14k flexible gold nib in Extra Fine, Fine and Medium. Both are paired with an ebonite feed and a cartridge/converter filling system. Every pen is presented in a pouch made from authentic Japanese kimono silk.

Writing Experience

True to Scribo's philosophy, the writing experience remains at the heart of the edition. The gold nibs, ebonite feed, and generous range of nib options make the pen suitable for both everyday writing and expressive calligraphy.

With only 110 pieces produced, the Piuma Hane Murakumo combines a rare Urushi technique with Scribo's renowned writing performance, making it an exceptional addition to any collection.
