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. |
|
|
|
For an additional $80.00 for the single
tone and $125 for the two-tone we can provide the double slit
music nib. It is much like a stub with a generous ink delivery.
See the Nakaya nibs page for
more details. |
The heavy decorative rice paper outer box,
simple solid softwood shipping inner box and fabric pouch make
a lovely presentation for this Nakaya Urushi pen. Sensible and
elegant packaging are a hallmark of Nakaya presentations. |
Price: $2800,
