With its deep purple color and smooth tamenuri finish, the Nakaya Dorsal Fin Version 2 Shobu fountain pen appears sleek and minimalistic. The unique double fin on the cap and barrel brings an angular dimension to this excellent writing instrument.
Utilizing a time-intensive procedure, this pen is made by applying multiple layers of urushi lacquer to the height of the fin. Aside from being visually intriguing, the fins serve as built-in rollstoppers.
Decorative rice paper, a simple solid softwood shipping box decorated with Japanese Kanji script, and a fabric pen "kimono" are all included with this pen, making it 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.
