Eboya Nalu Midori-hamon-kuro Green Wave and Black C/C
A study in lushly luminous dark hues, the Eboya Nalu Midori-hamon-kuro Green Wave and Black C/C typifies the artisanal approach of this Japanese manufacturer of handcrafted ebonite pens. Each pen is equipped with your choice of 14k solid gold nib made specially for Eboya by Heidelberg-based Bock.
Our complimentary nib tuning adjusts optimum pressure and ink flow to your own personal preferences. Bock 14k nibs also make an excellent starting point for our exclusive nib customizations, including such popular modifications as Stub, Flex, and Architects Point.
Eboya's parent company supplies the raw ebonite stock to most of the major Japanese pen manufacturers, and their skill in the manipulation of this material is readily apparent - Eboya brand fountain pens have a unique aesthetic that is distinctly their own. The ebonite used is a natural product sustainably harvested from the Asian rubber gum tree. As with all hand-made pens, the appearance will vary slightly from pen to pen - no two will ever be exactly the same.
Each cartridge-converter pen ships in a simple presentation box and includes a converter. The pen can fill with any bottled fountain pen ink, and can also use convenient international size cartridges, such as those we offer from Pelikan and Kaweco. We are an authorized Eboya retailer.

Customization Guide
Stub
 
|
Above is the same size nib after a regrind to Stub. A regrind to Stub is often a good place to start for your first customization. Â A Stub nib provides broad down-strokes and narrow cross-strokes while writing, and is less position-sensitive on the paper than the crisper and slightly more demanding cursive italic.
|
Cursive Italic
 
|
More demanding, but also providing crisper edges and more line-width variation, is the very popular customization to Cursive Italic. This also provides broad down-strokes and narrow cross-strokes, but is also more position-sensitive in terms of how the pen is held and requires more skill on the part of the user. This is a common customization for artists and calligraphers, but is still smooth enough to make for a good everyday writer.
|
Formal Italic
 |
Formal Italic is an even crisper and more demanding customization than either cursive italic or left oblique, and is usually utilized for calligraphy and by the most experienced users. This provides broad down-strokes and narrow cross-strokes, with even crisper corners and edges than a cursive italic - this is an extremely position-sensitive customization.
|
Left Oblique
 |
 Commonly used for signatures and correspondence, the Left Oblique customization provides broad diagonal strokes and narrow cross-strokes, and like a cursive italic, is more position-sensitive and demanding than a stub. The whole pen must be rotated to the left in order to write smoothly, without skipping. The "Left" in Left Oblique refers to the cut of the nib itself, and does not refer to the handedness of the writer. |
Architect's Point (Also for Arabic and Hebraic writing)
 |
A more exotic regrind is that to Architect’s Point. Named after the style of writing used by Frank Lloyd Wright, this regrind is the opposite of cursive italic, and provides for broad cross-strokes and narrow down-strokes. This also tends to be a particularly useful customization for those practicing Arabic or Hebraic calligraphy. |
Spencerian
 |
Perhaps our most popular customization, but also one of the most advanced, the Mottishaw Spencerian Customization has gained special attention from being featured in a customer's YouTube video which has now received over twelve million views! The Spencerian starts from a semi-soft 14k nib and adds additional flex and a regrind to needlepoint to create a specialized writing point used for copperplate calligraphy.
