Nakaya Piccolo Writer Kuro-tamenuri
The Nakaya Piccolo Writer Kuro-tamenuri showcases Nakaya design and craft at its finest. The lush urushi finish of this pen is hand-applied over a period of many months by skilled artisans in the traditional craft center of Wajima on the west coast of Japan.
Our complimentary nib tuning adjusts optimum pressure and ink flow to your own personal preferences. Our exclusive nib customizations can add to the character and distinctiveness of your writing, and can also make this pen a valuable tool for the professional or amateur calligrapher - choose the Fine Soft nib for our noted Spencerian modification, or a Broad or Extra Broad for best results with our popular Architects Point customization.
Tami means “little pool of water” and nuri means painting, and when a word meaning a pigment is placed in front of it such as kuro, we have kuro-tami-nuri, or a blackish transparent painted surface. This black color is painted over red here, which allows the transparency of the black to reveal the red underneath; a traditional favorite of many people.
