Nakaya Fountain Pens

Nakaya pens captured our attention some years back with their simple designs and sumptuous surfaces. These pens are not just notable works of art in their own right, but also offer tremendous value - you won't find high quality Urushi pens at this price from any other manufacturer.

Comprised of senior members of Platinum Pen Company, Nakaya Pen Company is dedicated to the highest standards of creative, aesthetic and functional art. Leonardo da Vinci said it best: "Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication".

 
Urushi is obtained as sap from the urushi tree 'RhusVerniciflua' which originally comes from the Himalayas. The urushi tree is to be found mostly in Southeast Asia, particularly in countries such as Japan and it prefers a warm climate. Most of the sap comes from the male tree. (The female tree produces seeds for food and fuel.)

Nakaya now offers both gel point (roller ball) and ball point in all of long and portable pens. The price is $40 less than the model with a standard single-tone nib.
Finally, we have a terrific translation of the "mono magazine" article, published in Tokyo in the spring of 2008. This article was photographed and composed at the time of John Mottishaw's first visit to Nakaya Pen's facilities.
