The Piuma, Italian for feather, is its lightest and most elegant model. The HANE collection takes its name from the Japanese word for feather, joining the two cultures in one idea of lightness, grace and precision. For each HANE edition, the Piuma's resin body is sent to Japan to be lacquered by hand in urushi, layer by layer, before returning to Bologna for final assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe art of urushi\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUrushi is the sap of the Japanese lacquer tree. Refined and applied in thin coats, it hardens into one of the most durable natural finishes known, and it has been used in Japan for thousands of years on bowls, boxes, armour and temples. Each layer must cure slowly in a warm, humid cabinet before the next is applied and polished, so a single pen takes weeks to complete. The result is a deep, glowing surface with a warmth no synthetic lacquer can match, and one that grows more beautiful as it is handled over the years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy red?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Japan, red, the colour of this 18K Hane, has always carried deep meaning. Red is the colour of life, prosperity, good fortune and rebirth, seen on temple gates, festival lanterns and the lacquerware that inspired this 18K pen. The red urushi of the Scribo Piuma Hane Aka 18K fountain pen has a soft, glowing depth that ordinary paint cannot reproduce, and it will mellow gently with years of use, as fine lacquer does.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAgainst the red, the gold-yellow nib and grip ring of the 18K edition add a warm, festive accent, like gold leaf on a lacquered box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Piuma shape\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Piuma 18K is designed to feel light and natural in the hand. The Scribo Piuma Hane Aka 18K fountain pen weighs about 30g, measures roughly 145mm capped and 175mm posted, and has a comfortable 15.6mm diameter. The clipless, gently shaped 18K body lets the lacquer flow uninterrupted from end to end, and the screw cap posts securely if you prefer a longer pen.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe 18K nib\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis version of the Hane Aka carries Scribo's 18K gold nib, one of the most praised nibs in modern pen-making. It is offered in a wide range of grades: Extra Extra Fine, Extra Fine, Fine, Medium, Broad and Double Broad. The 18K nib is smooth and springy, with a gentle softness that makes long writing sessions effortless, and it is fed by an ebonite feed for a steady, generous flow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe finest grades suit small handwriting and Japanese or Indian scripts with intricate strokes; Medium is the most versatile; Broad and Double Broad lay down a wet, expressive line that shows off the colour and shading of your ink.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFilling\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Scribo Piuma Hane Aka 18K fountain pen fills with standard international cartridges or with the included converter, which lets you draw ink from any bottle. Converter filling opens every colour to the 18K Hane Aka and is the most economical choice for regular use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eInk recommendations\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith an 18K nib you can enjoy almost any good fountain pen ink.

Wipe the pen with a soft, dry cloth, keep it capped and stored in its case when not in use, and protect it from prolonged direct sunlight, which can slowly lighten the lacquer. Never use solvents, polishes or alcohol on the finish. Flush the nib and converter with lukewarm water when you change inks, and avoid leaving the pen filled and unused for months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA collector's piece\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Scribo Piuma Hane Aka 18K fountain pen is a limited edition, and earlier HANE editions have sold out as collectors sought each new colour.
