Overview

Nakaya's Writer Long Kuro-Tamenuri fountain pen gives its ebonite body a dark urushi finish over a vermilion ground, accented by a gold-plated clip.

Kuro-Tamenuri gets its depth from the red beneath its dark surface. Shuai urushi mixed with black covers a vermilion urushi base, letting the underlying color show through. A gold-plated clip and a 14k gold nib accent the lacquered ebonite body of this handmade Japanese Writer Long.

It measures 163 mm closed, with a barrel 143 mm long by 15 mm wide, and weighs 28 g with the cap or 17 g without it. The cap screws closed. The pen takes cartridges or a compatible converter for bottled ink.

Questions & Answers

What lies beneath the dark lacquer?

A vermilion urushi base. It shows through the upper coat of shuai urushi mixed with black, creating Kuro-Tamenuri's layered color.

Can I use bottled ink?

Yes, with a compatible converter. The pen also takes ink cartridges.

How do I care for the urushi finish?

Keep it out of direct sunlight and avoid extremely dry storage. If ink gets on the lacquer, wipe it off promptly with a soft damp cloth.
