Overview
Evergreen leaves inspire the glossy green urushi of the Nakaya Cigar Long Midori fountain pen, handmade in Japan with an ebonite body.
Evergreen leaves inspired Midori’s glossy green urushi. Reaching that shade took careful color development: Nakaya found blue-related colors particularly difficult to achieve in lacquer. That work gives this finish its character, translating a familiar color from nature into urushi.
The body is ebonite, made from natural rubber and sulfur, with urushi providing the exterior finish.
The cap, barrel, grip section, and band are made from ebonite coated with Wajima urushi.
Made by hand in Japan, this model has a ruthenium-plated 14k gold nib. A screw-on cap closes the pen, and the cartridge/converter system accepts cartridges or bottled fountain pen ink.
It measures 163 mm capped, with a barrel length of 143 mm and a barrel width of 15 mm.
Founded in 1999 by Toshiya Nakata, Nakaya began making custom urushi fountain pens with craftspeople who had spent more than 40 years at Platinum Pen. Its name recalls Nakaya Manufacturing Company, founded in 1924 as the predecessor to Platinum.

Questions & Answers
Is the green in the lacquer or the body?
The green comes from Midori urushi applied over ebonite. Evergreen leaves inspired the color, which Nakaya found challenging to achieve in lacquer.
Can I use bottled ink?
Yes. The cartridge/converter system accepts a converter for bottled fountain pen ink, or you can use ink cartridges.
How should I care for the urushi?
Keep the pen out of direct sunlight and away from extremely dry conditions. Wipe away ink promptly with a soft, damp cloth. If the ink does not come off, contact Nakaya.
