- "象嵌 Zo-Gan (inlaying 'Damascene')style grip section -

   We have reprinted inlaying style on a grip section, a technique which very populer during the golden peroid
    of Japanese fountain pens in 1960's.
    This is a little differnt from a true inlaying in terms of manufacturing process.
    However, the look and feel of quality is of that time.

   ※What is "Zo-gan"?
  Inlaying is called Zo-gan in Japanese.
    In English, inlaying is called Damashene and this word comes from the birthplace of "Zo-gan", a place of
    Damascus city in Syria in the 8th century and came to Japan in the 14th though the Silk road.

   "象"(Zo) means moulding, "嵌"(gan) means setting.
    So Zo-gan means a technology, which for setting a material to different materials.
    Zo-gan, in Nakaya's use is applied with Maki-e technique,  that is why technique does not comply with
    a complete definition of Damachene. However, Nakaya hopes you will recall a golden days by with Zo-gan and
   retro feelings of a grip with an extended shape and looks like a trumpet.

   Please observe ;
    We cannot mount Zogan on a plastic grip such as Briar, Celluloid ,Acrylic body and leather roll model.

                                 Zogan on the Piccoro, and on a desk pen ("Aka tame") may be viewed this sight.

  Caution ; After inlaying of gold,white gold or sea shell plate a craftsman polishes and remove Urushi lacquer ware,
                so these materials (gold,....) expose .
                Please care this part and wipe the sweat and oil of your hand after using the pen in order to prevent
                discoloration especially for seashells.
                We recommend a white gold material rather than sea shell for a white colored Zogan.
