Long Fountain Pen Aka-tamenuri (Dark Reddish-Red) | |
If
simplicity is the highest form of elegance, this is it. As unadorned as this pen
is, it achieves greatness by virtue of its materials, surface and color. Shown here is the Long Cigar (No Clip) fountain pen in Aka-tamenuri (Dark Reddish-Red). | |
 |
|
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 pens its deep lustrous
sheen and subtle color shift. | |
 |
|
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" capped. It weighs 24.5 grams. 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. | |

These close-ups give a sense of the subtle color shift that occurs on a new pen. As the pen ages with careful handling, more of red undercolor emerges. |  |
