Nakaya Neo Standard Ascending Dragon Ao-tamenuri
The Nakaya Neo Standard Ascending Dragon Ao-tamenuri fountain pen, formerly known as the Blue Dragon, utilizes a unique new Urushi lacquer mix in blue-green to create a memorable variation on this popular motif. Tame-Sukashi technique adds layer of clear Urushi over the hand-painted dragon, resulting in a stunning portrait of a dragon that will "ascend" with time.
The response to this new design has been highly enthusiastic. One of our customers says, "This is the best shape that Nakaya has ever made." It only comes as a Writer, with a clip.
Though the full range of Nakaya nibs is made available, the rhodium-plated version shown here matches the cool blue-green Ao-tamenuri finish.
Decorative rice paper, a simple solid softwood shipping box decorated with Japanese Kanji script, a starter box of Platinum ink cartridges, and a fabric pen "kimono" are all included with this pen, making it a lovely presentation item. Sensible and elegant packaging has long been a hallmark of the Nakaya brand.
