    Default First Nakaya!

    Just wanted to share my first Nakaya. She arrived today and was as glorious as I thought. Took me a bit to get used to the nib, but it's worth it. At least now I know what to ask for tuning wise next time.

    The color is called Awa-Murasaki, and as a fan of pinks and purples it's perfect!

    Fantastic. Matches my socks today. I can't read the size marking on the nib.

    Although I don't think I'd buy a pink pen, I must admit it's a really gorgeous color for a Nakaya. Congratulations!

    Will be joining the Nakaya club in 4 to 5 months. That is "soon" by Nakaya standards!

    Beautiful pen, enjoy it in good health. Pink is not a color I would get but it isn't my pen....

    And I will not likely ever be able to afford a Nakaya anyway.
