Nakaya Portable Writer String Rolled Shu Polished
With rich terra cotta tones and an intriguing string-rolled element, the Nakaya Portable Writer Shu Polished fountain pen is a study in the beauty of natural elements. Wrapping or binding has long been a technique for strengthening. We have seen wrapping on bamboo fry rods used to join eyes to the pole, and the first time we saw it on a fountain pen was as a clever repair to a split cap. The use of wrapping as a decorative element employing organic materials is consistent with Nakaya Pen Company's philosophy of simple elegance.
The Urushi process required as much as several months to complete. These finishes reveal a level of craftsmanship and attention that we have only seen in the finest quality surfaces.
Nakaya pens can be filled with bottled ink using the provided converter, and can also use Platinum brand top quality cartridges. Hand-painted Maki-e converters are also available.
