Nakaya Naka-ai Cigar Ascending Dragon Ao-tamenuriPreviously known as the Blue Dragon, Nakaya's Naka ai Cigar Ascending Dragon Ao tamenuri fountain pen uses a unique blue green Urushi lacquer color mix. The peaked ends and tapered body of the Naka ai model provide a perfect backdrop for the winding dragon motif, as it appears to rise to the top of the pen in pursuit of the flaming pearl. The nature of the Tame Sukashi technique is such that the longer the pen is used, the more the motif ""ascends"",
