Portable Fountain Pen
Aka-tamenuri (Reddish-Red)
|
If simplicity is the highest form of
elegance, this is it. As unadorned as this pen is, it achieves greatness by virtue
of its materials, surface and color. Shown here is the Portable size Cigar (No Clip) in Aka-tamenuri (Reddish-Red) and below this is the Writer (With Clip). |
 |
| The Urushi tradition is historic and
profound in Japan, where lacquer ware has adorned utilitarian objects for centuries.
This technique, though painstaking, gives this fountain pens its deep lustrous
sheen and subtle color shift. |
 |
| This Nakaya fountain pen is made of
Urushi, a material made from the sap of a Japanese lacquer tree. The process of
collecting the Urushi (sap) and applying many layers of lacquer to this fountain
pen takes three months to complete. |

We
can provide a Platinum converter used to fill this pen with ink in either the
simple form or the painted "goldfish" design for an additional $ 21.
