The Nakaya Cigar Portable SEASONAL FLOWERS is an elegant maki-e fountain pen inspired by the beauty of flowers and the changing seasons of Japan.
The artwork features vivid red and blue flowers as the main elements of the design. The contrast between the warm red blossoms and cooler blue tones creates a beautifully balanced composition, while delicate leaves and floral details add depth throughout the body. Against the dark lacquer background, the colors appear particularly vibrant while retaining the quiet elegance characteristic of Nakaya’s work.
Each floral element is carefully rendered using traditional Japanese lacquer and maki-e techniques. Rather than presenting a single flower as the central motif, SEASONAL FLOWERS creates the impression of a small garden unfolding around the pen, celebrating the colors and atmosphere of nature throughout the seasons.
The artwork is applied to Nakaya’s classic Cigar Portable body. Its clipless design provides an uninterrupted surface for the decoration, allowing the flowers to flow naturally across the cap and barrel without being divided by metal fittings. The rounded, understated silhouette also places the focus entirely on the lacquer work.
Crafted from ebonite and finished by hand in Japan, the Cigar Portable SEASONAL FLOWERS combines Nakaya’s traditional craftsmanship with a colorful and expressive floral design. The brilliant red and blue blossoms give this piece a distinctive presence while maintaining the refined aesthetic for which Nakaya is known.
