Nakaya Naka-ai Cigar Awai-murasaki

Available in our exclusive Naka-ai model, the dusty purple Awai-murasaki finish adds a unique color to the Nakaya line. With its peaked ends and tapered body, Nakaya's Naka-ai Cigar fountain pen emphasizes balance. The Awai-murasaki color contributes to the theme of the Buddhist practice of "the middle way" with its soft, muted hue.

This is a pen that will be a very comfortable fit for most pen users. The Naka-ai model occupies a midway position between Nakaya's smaller Piccolo series pens and the longer Deskpen.

The Cigar model allows the grape-tinted Urushi lacquer to fill the streamlined surface of the Naka-ai without interruption. Although available with other nibs, the rhodium-plated version matches well with the cool undertones of the finish. This color is also available on other models such as the Long, Portable, and Dorsal Fin Version 2.


The Naka-ai Cigar in Awai-murasaki is provided with solid gold 14k single-tone nib in your choice of tipping size.

The double slit Music nib is available at an added premium, as are plated nibs in Pink Gold, Rhodium, Ruthenium, or Two-Tone.
14k nibs are well-suited to customizations including Stub, Cursive Italic, and Left Oblique, as well as the modification for added flex.
Nakaya pens can be filled with bottled fountain pen ink using the provided converter. They can also use Platinum brand ink cartridges. Hand-painted Maki-e converters are also available.

Nakaya pens ship in a solid softwood shipping box decorated with Japanese Kanji script and lined with decorative rice paper. A fabric pen "kimono" and starter box of Platinum brand cartridges are also included, making this pen a lovely presentation item. Sensible and elegant packaging has long been a hallmark of the Nakaya brand.

Nakaya pens are individually handcrafted in a process that requires a minimum of three to six months and often much longer. 
Unless requested otherwise, each pen or nib you purchase from us will be carefully examined, tested, and optimized for your personal writing characteristics before it ships.
