Nakaya Naka-ai Cigar Red-Crowned CraneThe Nakaya Naka ai Cigar Red Crowned Crane utilizes blue Tamesukashi Maki e technique to realize its lush and lyrical motif and is available exclusively from us here at Nibs. com. Each pen is hand crafted in a process which requires up to a year to be completed. The crane motif, now just a subtle pattern against the dark background, will grow brighter and more easily visible as the outer layer of fuki urushi lacquer matures and grows more transparent.
