He would only strive after whatever the inward voice commanded him, not tarry anywhere but where the voice advised him.
Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse
The Golden Age Urushi fountain pen showcases its radiant colors and reflects Laban's aspirations as a long-established fountain pen brand to bring back the golden era of writing once more.
The debut of Laban Urushi
Golden Age urushi fountain pen is an ode to fountain pens' meticulous and impeccable lacquer work, radiating sophisticated beauty and refined depths with successive coats of Urushi lacquer and layers of gold leaves.
Hand-finished with the highest-quality materials by skilled Urushi artists, this pen is a masterpiece of a fine writing instrument. Every detail proves it.
The Golden leaves
Those golden leaves on the pen barrel are Bodhi tree leaves. In Buddhism, Siddhartha Gautama attained enlightenment under the Bodhi tree, and the golden Bodhi leaf symbolizes the reflection of one's inner self.

CARE & MAINTENANCE
Do not sanitize your Laban pen with cleansing alcohols
After the covid-19 pandemic, people now use cleansing alcohol or another disinfectant spray to sanitize personal items more frequently. However, your beloved stationery is made with precious parts/materials, if it contacts with solvent/alcohol, the solvent may eat away at the material.
- The gold-plated surface may interact with solvent and loss shimmer or get rusty.
- The acrylic resin part may become weak and get tiny cracks easily.
Thus, we suggest you clean your pen with just water. Also, clean your hand with soap first before your daily writing, which is also a good sense of ritual for both you, and your luxury stationery.
* Ultraviolet sanitize lamps may also damage the acrylic part.
Please use/keep your Laban pen carefully
Do not let your sterling silver, silver-plated, or gold-plated pens contact any chemicals, or keep them in a moist environment for a long time. Please keep the pen in a pen bag or the gift box while carrying it to go out, to avoid surface damage from accidental impact or scratch.
Strongly suggest you store the pen separately with keys or sharp metal items.
How to fix the pen surface damages
If tarnishing occurs, you may use a silver polishing cloth to polish the pens, but it won’t make the pen revert to its original.
Can I purchase a replacement part?
Please contact us directly, and provide your warranty card, also pictures of your pen. We could have a spare replacement for it.
