There are at least 150 steps in the creation process of a handmade fountain pen.
If we add the surface finishing and decorating processes such as iron plate and armite
it goes up to over 300 steps.
Fountain pens are made through all these steps and when the final adjustment of nib is done
by hand of the master, they are called "handmade fountain pens".
NAKAYA's HANDMADE FOUNTAIN PEN
At NAKAYA we do not call it "handmade" if only the nib is adjusted.
It is true that adjustment of the nib is the most important part of the process for perfect writing quality,
however, this adjustment of the nib will cause a slight change in the total form of the nib
and the fitting balance with the nib feed.
Therefore we think every single part need to be made by hand and every fountain pen must be fine tuned with the utmost precision.
At NAKAYA, we make a "Carte(personal record)" for each customer concerning his/her writing characteristics.
Checking this record we customize and adjust the entire pen to fit to its owner's hand perfectly.
NAKAYA ORIGINAL FOUNTAIN PENS
For example, NAKAYA original model/black.
The ebonite, traditional material for pens, is drilled, turned and shaped by the lathe craftsman's hand individually.
Entire length:16.2cm - 16.5cm with cap posted on the barrel(weight:19g - 23g)
We manufacture within the above scale range based on your "carte"(personal record).
The surface of the pen is finished with "URUSHI" lacquer of Wajima area.
This special finish protects your fountain pen from fading or deterioration over time.
NAKAYA's leather roll model production starts with choosing the best leather.
The quality of the carefully selected cow leather could even be used for making high quality bags.
This high quality leather is colored one at a time to acquire a special deep tone,
and it is rolled to the barrel carefully using a potter's wheel.
You can coordinate with your other leather goods.
The leather roll model is most suitable as a personalized gift.
