CP. Manten Milky Way II Cigar Portable Fountain Pen * Nakaya Raden

Nakaya is one of Japan's oldest and most important producers of writing instruments. The sober designs give Nakaya fountain pens their universal appeal. The wonderful lacquering and Maki-e techniques make them real works of art. Nakaya fountain pens are a must for any collection.

The Manten II is the second design in the Milky Way raden theme. The swirling greenish-blue motif is built with different sized abalone flecks on a body which is completly covered with smaller abalone particles. You can look at this pen forever and never be bored!

Important note: Urushi doesn't like direct sunlight, so keep your pens with their precious Urushi lacquer in a protected environment. A pen pouch, pen case or closed drawer is sufficient.

Since its reappearance in 2000, the Nakaya nib has proudly displayed its traditional logo that dates from the 1920s. Only Maki-e artists trained by the prestigious Japanese schools are called upon to craft the Nakaya writing instruments. The sober designs make the Nakaya fountain pens universal and timeless. The magnificent lacquering and Maki-e techniques make them quite unique. These exquisite hand-made writing instruments are therefore a must for every collection.
