Nakaya Piccolo Cigar Negoro Toki-iro
Nakaya's Negoro style pens feature artfully engraved "cracks" etched onto the surface of the cap and barrel. The Nakaya Piccolo Cigar Negoro Toki-iro fountain pen is an art form as well as a practical writing instrument.
The name Piccolo comes from the smallest of the woodwind instruments, and in true form the Nakaya Piccolo Cigar fountain pen is one of the shortest of the Nakaya Urushi pens, yet still maintains excellent balance in the hand.
The Negoro weathering process is particularly painstaking and time-consuming - production of these pens usually requires six months or more. Here the artist intentionally exposes the fountain pen's base to celebrate the concept of aging.
The muted, subdued pink of the Toki-iro is reminiscent of the feathers of the Toki bird. As with all hand-crafted pens, the colors will vary - no two will be exactly alike.
The Nakaya Piccolo Cigar Negoro Toki-iro fountain pen is handcrafted from ebonite and Urushi lacquer, and comes standard with solid gold 14k single-tone nib in your choice of tipping size.
The double slit Music nib is available at an added premium, as are plated nibs in Pink Gold, Rhodium, Ruthenium, or Two-Tone.
