Above, see the comparison between the 17mm Nakaya Long Cigar (no clip)and the standard issue 15mm long cigar, both in Aka-tamenuri (Dark Reddish-Red). Amazing what just two millimeters will do in the girth of a pen.

If simplicity is the highest form of elegance, this is it. As unadorned as these pens are,they achieve greatness by virtue of their materials, surface and color.

This is not a pen that you would carry in your pocket. Besides being clipless, at six and a half inches long, it would extend above the lip of most pockets. This pen is 6 1/2" long, capped.

This Nakaya fountain pen is made of hard rubber or ebonite that is meticulously coated with Urushi, a material made from the sap of a Japanese lacquer tree. The process of collecting the Urushi and applying many layers of lacquer to this fountain pen takes three months to complete.
