Kama-nuri describes the technique in which lacquerwork is carved or chiseled out in a pattern-like fashion. This was inspired by a traditional technique called Kamakura-bori where wood is carved into patterns and then lacquered. Many of Danitrio's kama-nuri lines have these hand-chiseled patterns configured in an array pattern. This pen was hand-painted first by maki-e artisan Masanori with an tame-nuri finish and then guest chiseled by Kazushi Kaneda.
