Nakaya Akatame or Kurotame ?
What to choose : Nakaya Akatame or Kurotame ? Let me explain the colours. Both pens are crafted in a Tamenuri technique and both have the same "red" middle layer. For the Kurotame the craftsman added a little bit of black urushi to the transparant upper layers. By doing so the Kurotame pen becomes more black than the Akatame. Both pens will enlighten by time and the red colour will be more expressed.
On the picture you see the Akatame on the left and the Kurotame on the right.
