With a hue resembling that of a blackberry smoothie or dark grape, this is a pen that seems a perfect companion for jotting down recipes, writing in a journal, or composing poetry. Each pen body is hand-turned at the Nakaya workshop in Tokyo, then sent to the Wajima region on the west coast of Japan for finishing in Urushi lacquer.

Nakaya pens can be filled with bottled fountain pen ink using the provided converter and can also use Platinum brand high quality ink cartridges. Hand-painted Maki-e converters are also available.

The Awai-murasaki Portable Writer seen here sports the rhodium plated nib and clip, keeping it cool.

Decorative rice paper, a simple solid softwood shipping box decorated with Japanese Kanji script, and a fabric pen "kimono" are all included with this pen, making it a lovely presentation item. Sensible and elegant packaging has long been a hallmark of the Nakaya brand.
Nakaya pens are individually handcrafted in a process that requires a minimum of three to six months and often much longer.
