Nakaya Portable Writer Frog with Cherry
The spring-themed Nakaya Portable Writer Frog With Cherry is an exquisitely detailed work of Maki-e art. Each hand-crafted Maki-e pen requires up to a year to be produced by skilled artisans in Wajima on the west coast of Japan.
Our complimentary nib tuning adjusts pressure and ink flow to your personal preferences, and our exclusive nib customizations can add to the character and distinctiveness of your writing on the page. We are an authorized Nakaya dealer.
Both frogs and cherry blossoms are traditionally symbolic of spring in Japanese art, and the Nakaya Portable Writer Frog With Cherry provides a lyrically rendered motif utilizing a variety of advanced Maki-e techniques, including the use of raden shell and raised Yakou Maki-e.
Consistent with the frog motif, the Nakaya tadpole converter is available as an additional option with this pen.
Nakaya pens can be filled with bottled fountain pen ink using the provided converter and can also use Platinum brand top quality ink cartridges. Hand-painted Maki-e converters are also available.
