AP Limited Editions Sakura Lacquer Art Fountain Pen – Teal Stars
The Teal Stars fountain pen from AP Limited Editions’ Sakura Lacquer Art Collection captures the quiet wonder of a starlit sky reflected upon still waters. Handcrafted in Japan, it combines luminous urushi lacquer with the precision of maki-e artistry to create a piece that glows with both depth and serenity.
The pen’s body is finished in layers of soft teal urushi—each coat applied and polished by hand to achieve a surface of remarkable radiance. Scattered across this tranquil expanse, delicate gold and silver maki-e stars shimmer faintly under the light, creating a celestial tableau that feels infinite yet intimate. The composition evokes both peace and motion, inviting contemplation with every glance.
Equipped with a 14-karat gold nib and plastic feed, the Teal Stars delivers a writing experience as smooth and flowing as its design suggests. The pen’s balance and tactile warmth reflect the artistry of its makers—artisans whose craft preserves centuries of Japanese lacquer tradition.
Limited in production, the Teal Stars pen is a meditation on light, space, and stillness—an object that captures the vastness of the night sky within the palm of your hand.

Materials and care
Materials and care
- Avoid direct exposure to sunlight or strong UV light. Urushi lacquer is sensitive to prolonged sun exposure and may dull or become brittle over time.
- Store the pen in a stable, indoor environment avoiding extremes of heat, cold or humidity. A relative humidity around 70–80 % and moderate temperature preserves lacquer integrity.
- Clean the exterior gently using a soft, dry microfiber cloth. If necessary, you may lightly moisten the cloth with clean water; avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents as they can damage the lacquer finish.
- Do not soak the pen or use an ultrasonic cleaning device on the lacquered surface—moisture and agitation can cause delamination or surface irregularities.
- While in use or storage, avoid impact or dropping the pen, and remove any sweat, salt or harsh chemicals from contact with the pen body — these may etch the surface or alter the finish over time.
- With proper care, your urushi-finished pen is not just a writing instrument—it is a heirloom object designed to retain its beauty and performance across decades.
