Nakaya D-17 Portable Shu Fountain Pen - Pre-Order

The 17 mm long barrel is heavy and feels solid in the hand, giving the fountain pen a sense of stability. The most traditional color of oerush, "Shu (vermilion)," is used and shines beautifully and brilliantly. Vermilion is a light yellow-red color that symbolizes an amulet or eternal youth and a long life.

The color has been used since ancient times in palaces, shrines, and temples in China and Japan as a traditional color. The color is created with cinnabar (also known as red mercuric sulfide) as a raw material, a red clay powder that contains sulfur and mercury.
