Shown here with the white metal rhodium-plated clip (Writer) and two-tone nib, this pen makes an elegant statement. Its base color is the "Kikyo" (Blue) urushi with Black urushi layered over and engraved with the Housoge design. An artist engraves a motif on the "Kikyo-Tamenuri" urushi lacquer surface of the pen, utilizing the unique "Chinkin" technique developed in the town of Wajima. In time, the blue under-color will softly emerge from the deep surface color.
The gripping section shown above reveals the quality of the engraving, which adds to the feel of the pen between the fingers. Also notice the two-tone extra-broad nib seen above. The solid softwood shipping box, heavy decorative rice paper, and woven fabric pouch make this Nakaya urushi pen a lovely gift. Elegant packaging has always been a hallmark of the Nakaya line.
