Of course, this is not because the tortoiseshell itself is warm, but because it has such high thermal conductivity that it warms up with body heat even in winter before you even notice the cold.\u003cbr\u003e This is probably why tortoiseshell has been treasured since ancient times as a material for accessories worn directly on the skin, such as hairpins and glasses.\u003cbr\u003e Writing instruments are also tools that come into contact with the skin.\u003cbr\u003e So, I thought I'd try making a writing instrument out of tortoiseshell. \u003cbr\u003eIt takes the equivalent of six eyeglass frames to make this tortoiseshell fountain pen.\u003cbr\u003e Rather than wrapping a single piece of tortoiseshell around the pen, this fountain pen is made by layering several pieces of tortoiseshell to create thickness, which are then hollowed out horizontally.\u003cbr\u003e The proof of this is the beautiful patterns that run vertically like geological layers.\u003cbr\u003e Rather than simply wrapping it flat, the craftsman's attention to detail in carving out the glossy roundness that is characteristic of tortoiseshell has resulted in the creation of this luxurious masterpiece.\u003cbr\u003e The pen nib is made by the world-renowned German company Schmidt.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"白田眞樹\/編集工房モノラボ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44145277534294,"sku":null,"price":28000.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0687\/6073\/1734\/files\/E6_B1_9F_E6_88_B8_E3_81_B9_E3_81_A3_E7_94_B2_E4_B8_87_E5_B9_B4_E7_AD_86__E3_81_B9_E3_81_A3_E7_94_B2_M_01_ab8d65c9-d5a1-467c-a186-796f46149c7f.jpg?v=1772893408","url":"https:\/\/www.syokuninkai.jp\/en\/products\/hikkigu15","provider":"葛飾区伝統産業職人会","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
