Nakaya Long Cigar Nuno Kise Silver Tin Fabric
The Nakaya Long Cigar Nuno Kise fountain pen provides a strking example of the innovation that regularly comes from Nakaya. This unique writing instrument is coated in fabric which is embedded in a layer of urushi lacquer. It is then over-coated in layers of silver tin and lacquer mix and is polished between applications. This painstaking process requires several months.
Many of Nakaya's special edition pens use unique combinations of technique which defy easy categorization by the traditional standards of Maki-e art. As always, Nakaya seeks to stretch the boundaries of what can be achieved both on and with a fountain pen.
Though the entire range of Nakaya nibs is made available, the ruthenium-plated nib complements the deep silver of the Nuno Kise.
Nakaya pens ship in a solid softwood shipping box decorated with Japanese Kanji script and lined with decorative rice paper. A fabric pen "kimono" and starter box of Platinum brand cartridges are also included, making this pen a lovely presentation item. Sensible and elegant packaging has long been a hallmark of the Nakaya brand.
