The warm green hues of Heki-tamenuri Ishime-Kanshitsu finish give this pen a particularly appealing, organic appearance. 

Nakaya Dorsal Fin pens are hand-turned from natural ebonite which has been sustainably harvested from the rubber gum tree. Ebonite hard rubber is the classic material for high-end fountain pens - writing instruments created using this material are still in everyday usage a hundred years or more after being produced. urushi lacquer finish is then applied in the traditional craft center of Wajima on the west coast of Japan, and also in the Nakaya workshop in Tokyo.

The Nakaya double slit Music nib is available at an added premium, as are plated nibs in Pink Gold, Rhodium, Ruthenium, or Two-Tone.

These smooth-writing nibs are well-suited to customizations including Stub, Cursive Italic, and Left Oblique, as well as the modification for added flex.

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.

Nakaya pens are individually handcrafted in a process that requires a minimum of three to six months and often much longer. 

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.
