The surface is then completed in either smooth urushi or stone texture Ishime-Kanshitsu finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe fins on the cap and barrel serve as built-in roll-stoppers, while the textured Ishime finish is both pleasing to the touch and more likely to hide small scratches and blemishes for those users who tend to give their pens unusually rough treatment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhen rotated to either side, the shape of the Dorsal Fin Version 2 Kuro-tamenuri Ishime-Kanshitsu fountain pen can be seen clearly. Rather than lying flat, this unique cap billows into a fin shape. A second fin protrudes from the barrel of the pen, creating an innovative boomerang-like design.\n\u003cbr\u003eThe fins of this Ishime fountain pen evoke images of rolling hills, textured like the earth. Given Nakaya's philosophy of simple elegance and preference for organic materials, this association with the natural world seems highly appropriate.\n\u003cbr\u003e \n\u003cbr\u003eNakaya pens can be filled with bottled fountain pen ink using the provided converter and can also use Platinum brand ink cartridges. Hand-painted Maki-e converters are also available.\n\u003cbr\u003eThe Nakaya Dorsal Fin Version 2 in Ishime-Kanshitsu Kuro-tamenuri finish is provided with solid gold 14k single-tone nib in your choice of tipping size.\n\u003cbr\u003eThe double slit Music nib is available at an added premium, as are plated nibs in Pink Gold, Rhodium, Ruthenium, or Two-Tone.\n\u003cbr\u003e14k nibs are well-suited to customizations including Stub, Cursive Italic, and Left Oblique, as well as the modification for added flex.\n\u003cbr\u003eDecorative rice paper, a simple solid softwood shipping box decorated with Japanese Kanji script, and a fabric pen \"\"kimono\"\" are all included with this pen, making it a lovely presentation item. Sensible and elegant packaging has long been a hallmark of the Nakaya brand.\n\u003cbr\u003eNakaya pens are individually handcrafted in a process that requires a minimum of three to six months and often much longer. \n\u003cbr\u003eUnless requested otherwise, each pen or nib you purchase from us will be carefully examined, tested, and optimized for your personal writing characteristics before it ships.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Nakaya","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43700838859047,"sku":"","price":1950.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0564\/0486\/9168\/files\/NakayaDorsalFinVersion2Ishime-KanshitsuKuro-tamenuri.jpg?v=1717660285","url":"https:\/\/nibs-usa.mom\/products\/nakaya-dorsal-fin-version-2-ishime-kanshitsu-kuro-tamenuri","provider":"nibs-usa.mom","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
