Cigar Long Fountain Pen

Nakaya Ashi : Reed
This striking and understated pen utilizes the the time-intensive and elaborate Kaki-Wari Maki-e technique to achieve its subtle and engaging effects. This technique is particularly suitable for realizing the expressive detailing seen on the surface of this pen.
Gold urushi powder is used in the reed design, which defines details down to the level of individual fronds and leaflets.
