Nakaya Briarwood Deep Gloss Rhodium
The Nakaya Briarwood Deep Gloss Rhodium uses a natural wood body, hand-finished urushi lacquer, and gleaming rhodium trim to create a pen that combines the classic and the contemporary. It is provided with your choice of Nakaya 14k solid gold nib.
Our complimentary nib tuning adjusts pressure and ink flow to your own personal preferences, and our optional nib customizations add line-width variation on the page and can make this pen a valuable tool for calligraphy and advanced handwriting techniques.
Briarwood, actually the root wood of the flowering plant erica arborea, is a classic material for pens, pipes, knife handles, and jewelry settings, among many other uses. Multiple layers of clear-drying fuki-urushi lacquer are applied to the cap and barrel to create the rich gloss surface.
The pen can use any bottled fountain pen ink when fitted with the reusable converter, provided by us free of charge with your purchase. It can also use Platinum brand disposable ink cartridges.
The pen ships in a wooden presentation box with kanji-style calligraphy and includes a fabric pen kimono and starter pack of ink cartridges along with the converter. We are the sole authorized Nakaya dealer in the English speaking world.
