If simplicity is the highest form of elegance, this is it. Nakaya pens achieve greatness by virtue of their streamlined design, excellent materials, and flawless surfaces. The Nakaya Piccolo Cigar Aka-tamenuri is a study in striking, saturated colors, design simplicity in a compact model.
The urushi tradition is historic and profound in Japan, where lacquer ware has been used to coat utilitarian objects for centuries. This technique, though painstaking, gives this fountain pen its deep lustrous sheen and subtle color shift. Over time with use, the brighter red under-layer will become even more prominent. The older it is the more beautiful it will become.
Even though this is a more compact fountain pen than the other Nakaya models, it will fit comfortably in most hands.
The simple, elegant shape, with its turned tapered cap and smooth transition between the cap and barrel, is an exercise in restrained design.

Decorative rice paper, a simple solid softwood shipping box decorated with Japanese Kanji script, 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.
