Nakaya Blue Dragon Fountain Pen

Nakaya Long Cigar Tame-Sukashi "Seiryu" (Blue Dragon) Fountain Pen

This dragon motif, seen on other Nakaya fountain pens in Aka-tamenuri and Kuro-tamenuri is has been employed here with an all new color, developed by Nakaya. This unique Urushi lacquer color mix, not seen anywhere else gives a stronger sense of the ascending dragon, even when new.

The nature of this color material is such that the longer the pen is used, the more the motif "ascends", becoming more and more evident. This gives double meaning to the "ascending" as the dragon also ascends up the pen in pursuit of the flaming pears, seen on the gripping section.

''Seiryu'' is one of four gods and protects the east direction. "Seiryu" means the ''Blue Dragon'' in Chinese. However, the true color is green or blueish-green, which matches with the color of this artwork.

Note the flaming pearl on the gripping section to the left. The Nakaya nib, imprinted Nakata, the family name of the manufacturer, is made of solid 14K gold.
