Nakaya 23rd Anniversary Naka-ai Writer Dog In Paradise Limited Edition Fountain Pen
This pen is pre-owned, but in excellent condition. It comes complete with its original box, papers and kimono pen wrap. It is equipped with a 14kt Ultra Extra Fine nib. This version is equipped with the ruthenium clip.
Designed to commemorate both the 23rd anniversary of the founding of Classic Fountain Pens and 2018 as the Year of the Dog on the Chinese calendar, the Classic Fountain Pens 23rd Anniversary Nakaya Naka-ai Writer Dog in Paradise Limited Edition fountain pen is an exclusive collaboration between Classic Fountain Pens and Nakaya.
Yakou Maki-e technique is used to create the distinctive profiles of a wide variety of different dog breeds, while the background has been realized in a special hue using Byakukan-nuri technique, which involves using a small amount of extremely fine gold powder mixed into a natural urushi base. As with most Nakaya pens, the cap and barrel have been hand-turned from naturally harvested ebonite hard rubber. Kanji characters for “Classic Fountain Pens,” along with the individual limited edition number, run along the reverse side of the barrel on each pen.
As with any Nakaya pen ordered from us, the 23rd Anniversary Pen is provided with a complimentary converter, which allows the use of any bottled fountain pen ink. The pen can also be filled using convenient Platinum-brand cartridges. A softwood presentation box, fabric pen kimono, and starter pack of ten cartridges is also included.
