Piccolo Housoge
Fountain Pen
Kikyo-Tamenuri Charcoal line
|
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 Housoge Cigar (No Clip) in Kikyo-Tamenuri (Blue-Black). |
 |
Its base color is the "Kikyo" (Blue) urushi with Black urushi layered over and engraved with the Housoge design. An artist engraves a motif by Wajima unique "Chinkin" technique on the "Kikyo-Tamenuri" urushi lacquer surface.

 |
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".
"Housoge" is a flower in the imagination of saying as in blossom in the paradise.
Same as Palmet flower, it is assumed a magnificent flower pattern pronoun as a kind of typical arabesque pattern of Chinese Tang Dynasty and Japanese Tenpyo period.
