Nakaya Decapod Cigar Sumiko Gold ST
Sumi charcoal is the same material used in Japanese Sumi paintings and is used here to achieve a depth of black which allows a remarkable contrast with the gold maki-e. There is little wonder that this pen is only available in the no clip (Cigar) version as the form is so strong that a clip would interfere with the elegant simplicity of this fountain pen.

With its matte black finish and sleek gold accents, the Nakaya Decapod Sumiko Gold ST fountain pen is a minimalist's dream.
This pen utilizes the Sumi-ko technique, which involves mixing charcoal powder with Urushi lacquer to produce the rich matte texture.
The ten facets of the Decapod follow from end to end in a long smooth curve. In addition, the facets prevent the pen from rolling off of a flat surface.
Nakaya pens can be filled with bottled fountain pen ink using the provided converter, and can also use Platinum brand ink cartridges.
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.
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.
