The underlying motif will grow brighter over time as the layers of urushi lacquer mature.
The dragon is in endless pursuit of the flaming pearl on the gripping section.
These are not pens to be stored away in a drawer - with a Nakaya fountain pen, the process of using and displaying the pen actually contributes to the maturation of the lacquer.
Nakaya pens can be filled with bottled ink using the provided converter and can also use Platinum brand top quality ink cartridges. Hand-painted Maki-e converters are also available.
Though the full range of Nakaya nibs is made available, the dragon looks particularly stunning with a rhodium-plated clip and nib, as it complements the mysterious nature of the Ao-tamenuri finish.
Decorative rice paper, a simple solid softwood shipping box decorated with Japanese Kanji script, a starter box of Platinum ink cartridges, 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.
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.
