Introduction
  We, Nakaya love not only Imariyaki but pottery as a whole.
Porcelain or earthenware irrespective of country of origin are wonderful crafts. Some of the works really give pleasure to look at. Even though we have expressed bright color in Maki-e(base of most of Nakaya products) by adopting new materials, the special feature of lacquering is the difficulty in expressing bright colors.
  As all our valuable customers are aware, we express whiteness of the lacquer by using the calla of the egg and the shellfish. Because the whiteness of lacquer is not the pure white. White material in Porcelain craft was discovered 600 years ago, giving an impact on the craft. "Beautiful white" and "Transparent blue" had enchanted people as an attribute of pottery.

  Besides working with Makie-e for our Fountain Pens, we also
plan to produce variesties of bright colored lacquer made
fountain pen accessories and porcelain as well.
