Nakaya Decapod Cigar Aka-tamenuri ST
The Nakaya Decapod Cigar Aka-tamenuri ST fountain pen is a reddish pen with ten facets and a smooth urushi finish. This design is uniquely well-suited to this style of layered translucent lacquer finishing, as the facets on these pens allow the underlying vivid red base color to show through.
The Cigar model is without a clip, and shows off the streamlined shape of the Decapod with its crisp, sleek facets. The facets of this fountain pen follow from end to end in a long smooth curve. It is a shape that can be described by pure geometry except that it is subtly more complex. In the end it is the eye and the hand that this shape most satisfies.
