Nakaya Portable
Yakou Maki-e Hagi Fountain Pen


Nakaya Portable

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.
