Rather than relying on painted imagery, the surface is built from fabric, urushi lacquer, and silver-tin material, creating a finish whose character comes from texture, depth, and the irregularity of hand application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCraftsmanship \u0026amp; Design\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNuno Kise is a fabric-based lacquer technique in which cloth is applied over the ebonite body and integrated into the surface with repeated layers of urushi. On the Silver Tin version, the fabric structure is then worked with a silver-tin and lacquer treatment that is polished between applications. The result is neither smooth like polished tamenuri nor overtly pictorial like maki-e. Instead, subtle ridges and softer areas remain visible and tactile, allowing the construction process itself to become the decoration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Long Cigar form is particularly well suited to this finish. Its 170 mm clipless silhouette gives the material a broad, uninterrupted surface and avoids breaking the pattern with a clip or decorative center band. The shape remains minimalist, but the surface is anything but simple.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWriting Experience\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis example is fitted with a 14k Soft Fine nib with ruthenium plating. Nakaya's Soft Fine offers a finer Japanese line while allowing more movement than a standard rigid Fine, and the dark ruthenium finish complements the cool silver-grey character of the Nuno Kise surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe pen uses a cartridge\/converter filling system compatible with Platinum cartridges and converters. This keeps the filling mechanism straightforward and serviceable while allowing the body construction and decorative finish to remain the primary focus.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Art of Nuno Kise\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes Nuno Kise especially interesting is that the fabric is not simply wrapped around the pen as an outer covering. It becomes part of the lacquer structure itself. Repeated application, curing, and polishing allow the weave and irregular surface to emerge through the finish, producing a material quality that is difficult to reproduce with resin, metal, or conventional lacquer alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Silver Tin treatment adds another layer of visual complexity. Light moves differently across the ridged and smoother areas, shifting the surface between silver, pewter, charcoal, and muted grey depending on angle. The gripping section is likewise finished in a textured silver-toned lacquer treatment, carrying the material language through the writing end of the pen rather than restricting it to the cap and barrel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCollector Perspective\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor Nakaya collectors, Nuno Kise occupies an appealing middle ground between the brand's simpler urushi finishes and its most elaborate pictorial work. The pen remains unmistakably minimalist in form, but the labor-intensive surface introduces a level of handwork and individuality that is immediately apparent when handled. The Long Cigar format makes that contrast even stronger by presenting the technique across one of Nakaya's largest clipless bodies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nakaya\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long Cigar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nuno Kise Silver Tin Fabric\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Material:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ebonite\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDecorative Technique:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fabric, Urushi Lacquer, and Silver Tin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNib:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14k Gold Soft Fine - Ruthenium Plated\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFilling System:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cartridge Converter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLength:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approx. 170 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry of Origin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mint Preowned Condition - With Original Boxes and Papers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Nakaya","offers":[{"title":"Soft Fine","offer_id":67578524696851,"sku":"NAK-LC-NKST-SF","price":2299.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/2083\/6627\/files\/Nakaya-Long-Cigar-Fountain-Pen-Nuno-Kise-Silver-Tin-Fabric-uncapped-leaning.jpg?v=1790969718","url":"https:\/\/www.truphaeinc.com\/products\/nakaya-long-cigar-fountain-pen-nuno-kise-silver-tin-fabric","provider":"Truphae","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
