Nakaya Portable Yakou Maki-e Hagi Fountain Pen
This is the Portable Yakou
Maki-e "Hagi" (bush clover) design created using the
Yakou Maki-e technique. This motif is raised bringing out the
color around the edges of the leaves and flowers. Using the
same technique as "Tame-sukashi", the contrast of
color on the motif and on the pen's edges will develop more
over time giving the "shu" (red) color greater brightness.
The bush clover motif is built up with black Urushi over the
shu, giving greater contrast and brightness to the design.
The pen shown here is a Portable size Cigar (without
clip). It is also available as the Writer model (with pocket clip).
Note the line above left
where the under-color, shu, is emerging from the edges
of the bush clover motif. This motif is carried onto the
gripping section as well. (See the image at left).
The Nakaya nib is imprinted "Nakata," the family
name of the manufacturer, and is made of solid 14K gold.
Each of these nibs is suitable for our customization to
extra flexible (additional $65). The medium and broad
tips can be customized by us into cursive italic, stub,
or oblique points (additional $55).
Note that Nakaya nibs run finer than Western nibs of the same named size.

it a lovely presentation item. Sensible and elegant packaging
has long been a hallmark of the Nakaya brand.
