This is the Nakaya Portable Cigar Shishin Four Gods Dragon fountain pen, realized in smooth Tame-sukashi technique. It is a companion pen to the Shishin Red Bird.
Representative of the dragon which guards the East, the dragon seen here is referred to as the "Blue" Dragon, though the colors used to represent it on this pen are Aka and Heki-tamenuri.
The double slit Music nib is available at an added premium, as are plated nibs in Pink Gold, Rhodium, Ruthenium, or Two-Tone.
14k nibs are well-suited to customizations including Stub, Cursive Italic, and Left Oblique, as well as the modification for added flex.

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.
