The Nakaya Portable Cigar Ascending Dragon in Heki-tamenuri is actually an intriguing multi-finish pen. While most of the motif is realized in the same dark red Aka-tamenuri finish familiar from the Long Cigar Ascending Dragon Aka-tamenuri, Heki-tamenuri finish applied near where the cap and barrel meet provides dark green highlights. The full-sized Portable model provides an excellent canvas for the elaborate dragon design yet is more comfortable in the hand for many users.

The underlying layers of Aka-tamenuri and Heki-tamenuri will grow brighter as the topmost layers of clear Urushi lacquer mature. Recently finished pens often have an almost opaque appearance, but with the Tame-sukashi technique the underlying dragon motif will grow more and more prominent as time progresses.


The Heki-tamenuri highlights can be seen most clearly on the threads. Produced utilizing time intensive Tame-sukashi technique, each pen usually requires a minimum of six months (and often much more) to be produced.


The Portable Cigar Ascending Dragon Heki-tamenuri is provided with solid gold 14k single-tone nib in your choice of tipping size.

The double slit Music nib is available at an added premium, as are plated nibs in Pink Gold, Rhodium, Ruthenium, or Two-Tone.
14k nibs are well-suited to customizations including Stub, Cursive Italic, and Left Oblique, as well as the modification for added flex.

Nakaya pens ship in a solid softwood shipping box decorated with Japanese Kanji script and lined with decorative rice paper. A fabric pen "kimono" and starter box of Platinum brand cartridges are also included, making this pen a lovely presentation item. Sensible and elegant packaging has long been a hallmark of the Nakaya brand.

Nakaya pens are individually handcrafted in a process that requires a minimum of three to six months and often much longer. 
Unless requested otherwise, each pen or nib you purchase from us will be carefully examined, tested, and optimized for your personal writing characteristics before it ships.
