Portable Fountain Pen
Shobu (Purple)
If simplicity is the highest form of elegance, this is it. Nakaya pens achieve greatness by virtue of its streamlined design, excellent materials, flawless surface and saturated colors. Shown here is the Portable Cigar (No Clip) fountain pen in Shobu (Purple).
This Nakaya fountain pen is made of hard rubber
or ebonite that is meticulously coated with Urushi, a material
made from the sap of a Japanese lacquer tree. The process of collecting
the Urushi and applying many layers of lacquer to this fountain
pen takes three months to complete.
This pen is 5 15/16" long and weighs 31 grams, without converter.
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.

The Nakaya nib, imprinted Nakata, the family name of the
manufacturer is made of solid 14K gold. Each of these nibs
is suitable for our customization to extra flexible (an additional
$65 charge). The medium and broad tip can be customized into
cursive italic, stub or oblique points (an additional $55
for these customizations).
Below are the basic tip sizes of Nakaya nibs, as reported off of their web
site (http://www.nakaya.org/eindex.html). Nakaya nibs run a little finer than most
Japanese nibs, like Sailor or Pilot-Namiki.
