Decapod Fountain Pen | |
If simplicity is the highest form of elegance, this is it. Nakaya pens achieve greatness by virtue of its streamlined design, excellent materials, flawless surface and saturated colors. Shown here is the Decapod Writer (With Clip) fountain pen in Midori (Dark Green). Traditionally, Japanese people have admired pines or evergreens as the symbol of the vitality of plants as well as immortality.

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

This faceted pen the Decapod is also available as a Cigar (No Clip) , seen below.

The Urushi tradition is historic and profound in Japan, where lacquer ware has adorned utilitarian objects for centuries. This technique, though painstaking, gives this fountain pen its deep lustrous sheen. Pens which have a colored urushi lacquer finish such as "Arai-shu" and "Midori" will become even more brilliant as the urushi itself becomes more translucent with the passage of time. So the color of the pen at the time you receive it will change and only improve. |

| This Midori green evokes for John a memory of his first sports car, a 1952 MG TD. Even though it is half a world away the English racing green on the curved fenders of that two-seater reminds him of this wonderful color. | |
