This is a “Writer Model” fountain pen—a simple design with no step between the cap and the barrel—in a “portable size” that’s easy to carry, finished with a rich “Akatame” lacquer coating made from Wajima (Writer/Portable): This pen features a simple, streamlined “Writer” shape with no step between the cap and the barrel, and a “Portable” size that balances a length suitable for everyday use with excellent portability. Models with clips are standard.
Materials and Akatame Lacquer: The body is made of traditional ebonite, and each pen is individually finished with Wajima lacquer. The “Tame-nuri” technique—in which a translucent layer of lacquer is applied over a vermilion undercoat—creates a beautiful, deep red color that reveals the layers of lacquer beneath.
Specifications: Compatible with both cartridges and converters; the nib is made of 14-karat gold or similar materials. You can also enjoy the patina that develops over time, as the lacquer becomes more translucent and the color changes with use.
