The Nakaya Portable Cigar in Kikyō (Blue) is a masterpiece of minimalist design, embodying the philosophy that simplicity is the ultimate form of elegance. Each pen is hand-turned from solid ebonite (hard rubber) and meticulously finished with Urushi, a natural lacquer derived from the sap of the Japanese lacquer tree.

Artistry and Craftsmanship

The deep, lustrous Kikyō finish is achieved through a labor-intensive process of building up and sanding down multiple layers of resin. This tradition results in a saturated, compelling blue that possesses a unique depth and a tactile, glass-like sheen. As a clipless "Cigar" model, the pen’s streamlined silhouette remains uninterrupted, allowing the flawless surface and rich color to take center stage.

Form and Function

• Material: Hand-turned ebonite rod stock finished in natural Urushi lacquer.

• Design: A "Portable" length (the shorter of the Cigar models) that offers a slender, comfortable profile.

• Balance: Despite its full-sized presence, the pen is prized for its exquisite balance and lightweight feel during long writing sessions.

• Exclusivity: Because Urushi is a natural material applied by hand, each pen carries the subtle mark of the artisan, making every piece one-of-a-kind.
