why do lacquered pens come at a premium? - depending on the lacquer style (urushi, maki-e, raden, etc.) it can take months to finish since they're done by hand - particularly for urushi, the lacquer comes from the urushi tree which is hard to grow and only yields ~300ml of sap (used for the lacquer) after 12 years if you're wondering why some Pilot lacquered pens are significantly cheaper than others like Nakaya, it's because that specific model is manufactured in bulk then hand painted (whereas Nakayas are all handmade in small batches)
