The word Housoge has the connotation of
a "flower in the imagination," as in a blossom in
paradise, a concept dating from the Chinese Tang Dynasty and
Japanese Tenpyo period.
This model is called a "Writer" by Nakaya. The Housage
is also available in the "Long" or "Piccolo"
models and without a pocket clip. These pens are made one at
a time and usually require two to three months for delivery.
Occasionally, we pre-order - please call for our current availability.

The Maki-e painted converters are available for an additional $25.
The solid gold 14K nib is imprinted with "Nakata,"
the family name of the manufacturer. Each of these nibs is suitable
for our customization to extra flexible. The medium and broad
tips can also be customized by us into cursive italic, stub
or oblique points.
See our Nakaya nibs page for more details. |
The
gripping section shown above reveals the quality of the engraving,
as well as the color of the platinum metal fill.
