Nakaya Portable Araishu (orange)
Orange has a long and interesting history in the world of pens. First seen on Waterman's hard rubber pens in around 1910, it became a famous color in the Parker Big Red, a ground breaking pen of the 1920's. (The Big Red is actually an orange color similar to this one.)
Above is the "cigar" model (without clip). It reveals the pure form of the Portable pen.
The "writer" model is more practical for those who like to carry this pen in their pockets.
Araishu in Japanese translates from "shu" for red and "arai" for laundry. The meaning of the combined word suggests a red that has been washed to the extent that it is no longer red. It is now an pale red. The acceptance of a quality that comes with time is a hallmark of Japanese language. In this case when we embrace the passage of time and we have araishu.
