“Aizen” is a Japanese word depicting the landcape shrouded in cloud, fog or mist.
In this collection, TACCIA applies a new urushi technique called “Kansitsu”.
“Kansitsu” (dry-urushi technique) was first introduced in the Warring States Period in China (B.C. 475 - B.C. 221). Craftsmen would use soil or plaster to make inner tubes, and then overlaid with linen and lacquer in successions on the inner tube. After drying and removal of the inner tube, the hard shell formed by the linen and lacquer will remain. The finished product is not only light, but also very sturdy. It was widely used in making Buddhist sculpture during ancient times in China.
“Aizen” collection includes three colors:
1. Sekiai (Red)
2. Asamoya (Orange)
3. Amamoya (Black)
Each of the pen is limited to 288 pieces worldwide. It has a Sailor-made 14k-gold nib.

Cap Type: Screw-cap
Nib Metal: 14k-gold nib

日本人以「靄然」一詞，言盡雲、霧、霾的集散。站立於山巔，仰看雲霧湧入又散去，在山嶺間留下美麗的漸變。
TACCIA以日本山峰朝夕間變幻的霧景為主題，並應用獨特的「乾漆」（かんしつ）技法，製作出「靄然」系列鋼筆。
「乾漆」技法，中文又稱「夾紵脫胎」。這項工藝最早始於戰國時代，漢代成熟後多用於製作佛像。當時工匠會使用土、灰泥製成內胎，然後在內胎表面交疊麻布跟漆。待乾固後，移除內胎，即餘下表面麻布跟漆形成的硬殼。成品不單輕巧，而且十分堅韌，甚至可以說是漆藝中最能展現天然漆優點的技法。
TACCIA技師在筆桿表面使用乾漆技法，並加入銀色漸變漆塗，模仿雲霧的效果。凹痕粗獷的質感，顯得極為獨特。
「靄然」系列共有三種款式，演繹三個不同時間的霧態：
1. 夕靄（紅色）－ 夕陽西下時的雲靄
2. 朝靄（橙色）－ 破曉時分的晨霧
3. 雨靄（黑色）－ 細雨中瀰漫的夜霧
每枝各限量288枝。人手製作，紋路各不相同。筆尾有漆藝師落款及限量編號。筆尖裝配日本Sailor特製的14K金筆尖。
