The Nakaya Piccolo Cigar Blue Wave Painting fountain pen exploits the skill of a master Urushi craftsmen to create a textured surface that is soft to the touch and engaging for the eye.
Nakaya mixes some albumen into Urushi lacquer to make stronger viscosity. A special comb-like tool is used to scratch the Urushi surface to express waves. Because they are done by a master's hand, each one is unique. But there is a consistency to the wave pattern. The fountain pen comes to life with its textured surface that almost massages the hand during use.
The Nakaya Piccolo Cigar can be filled with bottled fountain pen ink using the provided converter. Nakaya pens can also use Platinum brand ink cartridges. Hand-painted Maki-e converters are also available.
Without a clip, the simple form of the Piccolo carries the texture of this pen with elegance. Lines representing waves wash over onto the softly coned end caps.
Though the full range of Nakaya nibs is made available, the ruthenium-plated nib complements the sleek design etched into the black surface.
