The handmade Nakaya Writer Long Heki-Tamenuri fountain pen gives turquoise tame-nuri urushi an elongated ebonite form with a gold-plated clip.
Heki-iro is the turquoise color behind Heki-Tamenuri. Translucent lacquer leaves the color beneath visible, creating the depth of the tame-nuri finish. Natural urushi can vary slightly in shade, so individual pens may have subtle differences in color. The finish follows the Long's elongated ebonite body, accented by a gold-plated clip and 14k gold nib.
An urushi lacquer artisan finishes each handmade pen in Japan. Nakaya's story began in 1999, when Toshiya Nakata founded the company with craftspeople who had worked at Platinum Pen for more than 40 years. The name comes from Nakaya Manufacturing Company, established in 1924 as Platinum Pen's predecessor.
The pen accepts ink cartridges or a converter for bottled ink and has a screw-on cap. It measures 163 mm closed and 220 mm with the cap posted. The barrel is 143 mm long and 15 mm wide, and the pen weighs 28 g with the cap or 17 g without it.
Heki-iro is the turquoise color used for this finish. In the tame-nuri technique, translucent lacquer lets the color beneath show through, adding depth to the surface.
The pen takes ink cartridges. A converter lets you use bottled ink instead.
The shade can vary slightly because the finish uses natural urushi. Individual pens may have subtle differences even within the same finish.
Keep the pen out of direct sunlight and away from extremely dry conditions. If ink gets on the exterior, wipe it off promptly with a soft, damp cloth. Contact Nakaya if the ink remains.
