Nakaya Neo Standard
Araishu (Orange) Polished Fountain Pen
|
||
 |
||
Araishu, in Japanese, combines "shu,"
meaning red, and "arai," for laundry. The meaning
of the combined word suggests a red that has been washed to
the extent that it is now a pale red. The acceptance of a quality
that comes with the passage of time is a hallmark of Japanese
culture. In this case, the result is araishu. |

| This is a subtle and considered shape that is hand-crafted from solid hard rubber. Notice the long tapered tail of the barrel and how this shape continues toward the front of the pen as well, down to the flange of the gripping section. The section offers a comfortable grip for the fingers. It also fits perfectly at the back of the hand and into the web between thumb and first finger. There is no need to post this cap. | ||

Heavy decorative rice paper, a solid softwood
shipping box, and an attractive fabric pouch add to this pen's
presentation value. Sensible and elegant packaging has always
been a hallmark of the Nakaya brand. |
