He doesn't have one himself... kinda shameful if you ask me.

 

I envision a pinstripe Urushi model, alternating between black and silver...

The hard part is going to be finding a suitable tipping material that can be used with the ebonite of the integrated nib.

Great post, and the other review you posted is also excellent. On both counts, beauty and function, this is an outstanding pen and it has now moved to the top of my list!

 

Thanks for being so creative and informative too! Well done.

Very artistic! You really blended the pens quite well in to the scenes. Impressive! They seemed like they just "belonged" in those arrangements.

I am an academic researcher specializing in Japan, and I can vouch for the authenticity of these photos. They were recently 'unearthed' in the Okura archives on the Hitachinomiya Estates in Shibaura when a cleaning person accidentally backed up and poked herself with what turned out to be a Nakaya LE that was used in fertility rites back in the 1680s. What a find!

Very creative photographs. You have captured the classic style of the Nakaya with a light-hearted touch. Excellent work.

Thank you : )) Good to have the support of a fellow academic!

After all, we researchers (psychology in my case) always document our evidence carefully.

 

I am now anticipating my 3rd Nakaya (short cigar model, with a greenish Ishime Kanshitsu finish), which should be ready any day!
