AP Limited Editions Urushi Lacquer Art Fountain Pen - Proplyd Aqua
AP Limited Editions Urushi Lacquer Art Fountain Pen – Proplyd Aqua
The Proplyd Aqua from AP Limited Editions is a poetic expression of depth, motion, and celestial beauty. Inspired by the ethereal light of interstellar clouds, this piece captures the quiet majesty of the cosmos through layers of transparent urushi lacquer in shifting tones of turquoise and blue.
Each pen is handcrafted in Japan by urushi masters who apply and polish multiple coats of lacquer to create a sense of infinite depth beneath the surface. The result is a finish that shimmers like light passing through deep water—alive with subtle gradients and inner radiance. The craftsmanship embodies AP’s philosophy: blending ancient Japanese artistry with a distinctly modern aesthetic.
Equipped with a precision-tuned 14-karat gold nib and plastic feed, the Proplyd Aqua delivers a smooth, responsive writing experience. The pen’s balanced weight and refined form invite daily use, while its artistry ensures it stands proudly among fine collectibles.
Produced in small numbers, the Proplyd Aqua reflects the soul of contemporary urushi—fluid, luminous, and timeless.

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.
