With its rich dark blue urushi lacquer finish, the Nakaya Neo Standard Kikyo fountain pen is as elegant as it is practical. Kikyo is one of the most popular solid Nakaya colors, and this version in an ergonomic full-sized writer is no exception.

This is a pen that will fit comfortably in most hands. Notice the long, tapered tail of the barrel and the extra length of the gripping section, creating a subtle and considered shape that is hand crafted from solid hard rubber and finished in glossy Urushi lacquer.

The response to this new design has been highly enthusiastic. One of our customers says, ""This is the best shape that Nakaya has ever made."" Available only with this simple and elegant clip in your choice of finishes.

There is no need to post this cap on the back of the pen for a balanced feel.

Nakaya pens can be filled with bottled fountain pen ink using the provided converter, and can also use Platinum brand high quality ink cartridges. Hand-painted Maki-e converters are also available.
The gold plating on this clip lends an elegant complement to the navy blue finish.
Nakaya 14k nibs are well-suited to customizations including Stub, Cursive Italic, and Left Oblique, as well as the modification for added flex.
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.

Nakaya pens are individually handcrafted in a process that requires a minimum of three to six months and often much longer.

Unless requested otherwise, each pen or nib you purchase from us will be carefully examined, tested, and optimized for your personal writing characteristics before it ships.
