Piccolo Housoge
Fountain Pen
Kuro-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 Kuro-tamenuri with the black charcoal inlay.

Nakaya Piccolo Cigar Housoge Kuro-tamenuri Fountain Pen

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.)

Nakaya Piccolo Housoge Kuro-tamenuri etching detail

"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.

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 hand engraving extends from the barrel and cap to the gripping section, adding a tactile property to the feel of the pen between your fingers.
