With tamenuri, the craftsman applies multiple layers of a transparent lacquer over a solid colored urushi. This gives the pen incredible depth and the color of the urushi underneath rises to the surface with the passage of time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn Japanese, \u003cem\u003etamenuri\u003c\/em\u003e is 溜塗り. The \u003cem\u003etame-\u003c\/em\u003e part in \u003cem\u003etamenuri\u003c\/em\u003e means \"lake,\" while \u003cem\u003e-nuri\u003c\/em\u003e means \"coating or lacquering.\" If you think about a lake, there are areas of shallow water where you can see the bottom, and areas of deep water that are so dark, you can't see the bottom at all.
