Nakaya Dorsal Fin 2 Suzu Ishime (Midori) Fountain Pen - Pre-Order

This model has fins on the cap and the body that act as a roll stopper. It is designed with the image of a katana, a sword. It is "Suzuishime," where "roasted tin powder" is used instead of Kanshitsu (dry lacquer) powder. By using the roasted tin powder, the finish of the material could be created. This Suzuishime green uses the special blue-green lacquer for the base, making the finish soft and glossy.

"Ishime" is made using a special technique that creates a stone-like texture on the surface. When the dry lacquer powder is sprinkled onto a lacquered surface, surface tension occurs and the powder gathers in certain places. Use the clumps that have formed by chance, apply the lacquer in layers, let it set, and then polish it to create "Ishime." It will be the "pebble-like" finish in the garden. The Music (nib) is quite unique and is therefore NOT available with the Dorsal Fin 2 model.
