Nakaya Nanten Karakusa
Fountain Pen

Nanten (Sacred bamboo, Nandina) seed has purifying effects and is said to be good for back pain. The sound "Nanten" can be written in other Chinese characters which then means "reverse bad luck", and therefore it is popular to be used for good luck.

Nanten is painted in the Karakusa design with platinum powder and colored urushi lacquer on the whole barrel.

Platinum undercoating:
A type of "Ji-maki" (undercoating) where platinum is sprinkled on the whole surface. There are also gold undercoating and silver undercoating.
Tsuke-gaki:
A type of Makie technique. Paint with sticky urushi lacquer and sprinkle powder on it.

Behind the autograph, the serial number "One" is painted. Nanten (Nandina) pattern is painted with Makie inside the cap.

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.
