Nakaya Portable Cigar Ascending Dragon 3 Aka-Tamenuri
Nakaya's Tame-sukashi "Ascending Dragon" series has long been popular with pen aficionados, and the Portable Cigar Ascending Dragon Version 3 adds yet another stunning finish to the collection. With a rich Aka-tamenuri backdrop and an intricate painting of a golden dragon underneath the layers of Urushi, this is a fountain pen with excellent attention to detail.
The fascinating feature of this pen is that the image literally "ascends" with use as the image of the dragon comes up as the pen is handled. In this slow process the owner's hand and everyday wear will give this pen the beauty of age. The dragon also appears to ascend along the length of the writing instrument.
The smooth and slender Portable Cigar model provides an excellent showcase for this intricate finish.
Nakaya pens can be filled with bottled fountain pen ink using the provided converter and can also use Platinum brand ink cartridges. Hand-painted Maki-e converters are also available.
