Nakaya Kuro, Aka, Heki, Shiro-Tamenuri Side By Side Pic?

[85AKbN]

Has anyone ever seen a Nakaya Kuro, Aka, Heki, Shiro-tamenuri (black-red, reddish-red, brown-green, white) side by side pic? If so, please share. I realize that the beauty of the urushi finish results in variability, but I believe a side by side picture of 3 or 4 of the colors with the same lighting would be helpful.

Fantastic side by side pic:

If you find yourself tumbling down the Nakaya rabbit hole..., this may prove useful. http://pics3.city-data.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif

 

I've found some useful information on Nakaya FPs during my research. A couple of broken links traced to their new URLs:

 

"tame-nuri"in one year later products

 

urushi and light

 

FPN member VirtuThe3rd's video: in Japanese, at 4:08, you can see how they make the 4 entry point cap and barrel threads (and see what they look like) so that you don't have to twist as much to uncap, cap.

This google translated blog shows a great side by side uncapped pic of a Lamy 2000, Piccolo, Portable, Pelikan 800, and Platimum ( ? ).

A Visit to the
Nakaya Fountain Pen Company

I didn't know they were in Ueno. I've been there many times (when I was oblivious to FPs).

The blog pictures were useful indeed. But I have to laugh at the admonition against exposure to strong sunlight. Here in Florida, the walls inside the house are intensely faded from reflected sunlight. I have to wonder what a season on my desk would do.

V7,

 

I started thread a few weeks ago. The picture might help you, except for the aka tamenuri comparison.

A great side by side pic, thanks. It looks like a sunlight shot (from the left - window?), no flash?

[KarloT]

No flash. Window was on the right side. No filters applied as well.
