Nakaya Writer Portable Aka-Tamenuri fountain pen

The Nakaya Writer Aka-Tamenuri fountain pen is made of ebonite and finished with a beautiful Wajami urishi lacquer. Ebonite is a light material, so the pen can be made a little longer and thicker without it becoming too heavy. Several transparent urushi layers are applied over the red base color, which are each time dried and then polished. The more coats applied, the darker the final pen color will be. With this pen this results in a beautiful dark brown lacquered pen, in which the underlying, in this case, dark red layers become visible in the sharper transitions. The name refers to this; "Tame" means "pond" which refers to the transparency of the top coat and "nuri" means "layer" and refers to the painting process.

The design of the pen is simple and sober, no gold-plated rings and no clip. The fountain pen is slightly longer than usual and intended to be used without a cap on the back. it is also not recommended to place the cap on the back of the container because of damage to the beautiful urushi paint.).

The nibs are 14 karat gold and can be ordered in different writing widths.

Just like the pen, the packaging is simple but neat and stylish. Each pen is packed in a Paulownia wooden gift box, the pen itself comes in a small "kimono fabric" case. The fountain pen comes with a box of Platinum cartridges and a converter.r.
