Nakaya Naka-ai Writer Toki-iro
The Nakaya Naka-ai Writer Toki-iro is being made available in only very limited numbers. Once all arriving pens have been pre-sold, it will not be made available on back order. Limit one pen per customer.
As with all Nakaya Urushi pens, each Naka-ai is made of hand-turned ebonite hard rubber, then sent to the Wajima region in western Japan for finishing with Urushi lacquer. Colors will vary slightly from pen to pen - no two of these hand-made pens will be exactly alike.

Notice the subtle pink color of the cap and barrel. "Toki" refers to the Japanese Crested Ibis, a bird once abundant in Japan but now on the verge of extinction. Covered with a veil of pinkish-white feathers, this bird is a Japanese treasure. The muted pink here resembles some of the Toki's coloring. |
Though available in other plating colors, the pink gold plating pictured here matches the color scheme.
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.
