Nakaya Raspberry Fountain Pen
Long Cigar (Long size and clipless)
With an overall design of mixing berries, flowers and leaves, this is a lively design.
Notice the raden (round pieces of abalone) inlaid into the center of the raspberry flowers.
The grace of this composition is to be found in the relationship between the negative space, where there is no design and the individual figures.
The artist uses multiple techniques to accomplish this design. Besides the use of raden, the artist uses taka-maki-e, raised maki-e technique to bring forward parts of the design.
The choice of lighter colors is unusual. The gold dust which is sprinkled into and imbedded in the flowers, leaves and berries contrasts with the pale background in its reflectiveness rather than in value.
Rich gradation on the leaves gives depth and shape to the forms.
 

This particular pen was monogrammed in gold Kanji letters on the gripping section for an additional $30.
