Nakaya Naka-ai Cigar Negoro Red Cloth

The Naka-ai Cigar Negoro Red Cloth is available exclusively from us here at nibs.com. Utilizing an intentionally distressed surface, this pen is a distinctive expression of the Japanese Wabi-Sabi aesthetic, in which a worn, used object is seen as having greater value than something which is new and unused.

As with any pen you purchase from us, the Naka-ai Cigar qualifies for our complimentary nib set-up and optimization services, and also provides an excellent starting point for our unique nib customizations.

Nakaya Urushi pens are meant to age, with the underlying color becoming more apparent as the Urushi lacquer matures. ""Wabi-Sabi"" is the term used in Japanese for objects whose aesthetic value increases with use and wear.

Taking this idea to its logical extreme, the Nakaya Piccolo Cigar Negoro Red Cloth honors the aging process even more by featuring ""cracks"" artfully engraved onto the surface of the cap, barrel, and gripping section.
