Maki-e is a 1500 years old technique founded in China but perfected by the Japanese. Executed in Flat Maki-e Hira-maki-e technique, the Charcoal Burnished Togidashi-maki-e technique or Raise Maki-e Taka-maki-e technique, Nakaya artists represent lacquer artwork at its finest. Exquisite interpretations of the designs are hand painted in gold, lacquer and vibrant color pigments by one of the world's finest craftsmen. With superior craftsmanship, Nakaya writing instruments are designed to be used. A solid gold nib with superior ink flow ensures an exceptionally smooth stroke and clean lines. In every aspect, Nakaya redefines quality in premium writing instruments. It is a smooth writer but at the same time provides some good “feels” or  “feedback”  from the tip of the nib. In this way, writers are able to control the handwriting making writing very enjoyable and fun too.
