These are the beautiful Nakaya
Celluloid fountain pens. There are currently three
colors available: Goldfish, Tortoiseshell, and Jade. Celluloid
is a flammable, half transparent plastic material which is
made by mixing nitric-cellulose (sulfuric acid and nitric
acid are added to cellulose), camphor and alcohol. When colored
it achieves a splendid result. Most pen barrels were made
of this material in the past as it is easy to cast and carve
and also produce in a variety of colors and patterns. However,
as it must be cured more than 6 months to prevent it from
deforming it has been recognized as a difficult and more expensive
material to use. These Nakaya pens offer great value.
Sensible and elegant packaging have been a hallmark of Nakaya. All Nakaya pens come packaged in handcrafted finery, as painstakingly contstructed as the pens they protect. The heavy decorative rice paper, simple solid softwood
shipping box and fabric pouch make a lovely presentation for Nakaya Urushi pens.
