Long Size Writer (With Clip) Fountain Pen | ||
No need to post a cap on this pen--
Nakaya were not joking when they named this "long size." Capped, the
Writer Long Size Kikyo seems even longer than its actual 6.5 inches. | ||
 |
||
| Like all the Nakayas, this pen is a pleasure to hold, and of course the size and lustrous black Urushi give this model a magisterial aura. | ||

Your hand won't tire using this Writer
Long Size in Kikyo. Although the pen has a ceremonial look to it, in hand you
sense this is a pen to be used. | ||
The Nakayas always seem to have little surprises in store for you-- here the nib has a strong curve, yet is engraved with a rather delicate pattern, featuring a charming heart-shaped breather hole. The effect is both modern yet invokes the fin-de-siecle era of pen craft. This close-up gives a sense of the rich color intensity that occurs on a new pen. But photographs don't do justice to the feeling of surprise-- how light the pen is, how elegant, how "right" the pen feels in hand, with its softly rounded, slightly voluptuous design. |
