BOKUMONDOH Urushi Pens

Hiroko Makino is the artist behind the wildly popular Bokumondoh urushi fountain pens. I visited her at her studio back in March and we take a tour of her studio and neighborhood, check out some of her work, and do a mini interview. 00:00 - Setagaya-ku 00:46 - Bokumondoh Studio 01:50 - Urushi 02:17 - Tsugaru-nuri Urushi 02:48 - Urushi Curing 04:40 - Urushi is an art 06:14 - Lunch at Bare Pizza Poco! 06:46 - Hachimon Jinja 07:09 - Use and Care of Urushi 08:00 - Applying a clear coat 09:07 - Raden 09:54 - Bokumondoh.com 10:57 - Hiroko in her own words https://www.bokumondoh.com/ IG: @bokumondoh Jacob's IG: @fudefan Music: "December Feeling" by Vendla https://www.epidemicsound.com/track/4I2oaQy16S/
