Nakaya Naka-ai Writer Awai-murasaki
Designed by Nakaya master pen designer Shinichi Yoshida in collaboration with Classic Fountain Pen's John Mottishaw, the Naka-ai, with its cone-shaped ends and tapered body, combines many of Nakaya’s most distinctive design features in a single model and is made even more unusual with this Awai-murasaki color. "Naka-ai" has the meaning of middle or in-between, and brings to mind the Middle Way of Buddhist practice with its emphasis on balance, integrity, and centeredness. Appropriately enough, the Naka-ai occupies a midway position between Nakaya's smaller Piccolo series pens and the longer Deskpen.
Now available in our exclusive Naka-ai model, the dusty purple Awai-murasaki finish adds a unique color to the Nakaya line. This is a pen that will be a very comfortable fit for most pen users. The Naka-ai model occupies a midway position between Nakaya's smaller Piccolo series pens and the longer Deskpen. The rhodium-plated clip allows the pen to be easily affixed to a shirt pocket for storage and transportation purposes.
Although available with other nibs, the rhodium-plated version pictured here matches well with the cool undertones of the finish as well as with the rhodium-plated clip.
