The Piccolo is the one of the shortest of the Nakaya urushi pens. The name Piccolo comes from the smallest of the woodwind instruments. Shown here is the Piccolo Cigar (No Clip) in solid black urushi.

Coated in many layers of urushi resin, this pen has is a lustrous deep black. It is also available in reddish red dark, black red dark and other finishes.

It is just big enough to fit easily in a large hand without posting the cap. (The cap does fit on the back of the barrel, though we do not recommend posting.)

This simple elegant shape with its turned tapered pyramidal cap and smooth transition between the cap and barrel, is an exercise in spare design.

This pen is also available with a pocket clip and is known as the "Writer".

Because it is black, and the also the smallest size, this is the least expensive of these pens. It is also available in the full range of urushi finishes. The costs vary with the finishes.

 

At 24.5 grams without ink this is pen is not heavy and not light. The balance is just right

The heavy decorative rice paper, simple solid softwood shipping box and fabric pouch make a lovely presentation for Nakaya urushi pens. Sensible and elegant packaging have been a hallmark of Nakaya.
