IKKAKU by Nahvalur Fountain Pen in Year of the Snake

Year of the Snake is a captivating luxury fountain pen from IKKAKU by Nahvalur, honoring the wisdom, grace, and mystique of the snake in the Chinese zodiac. This release continues Nahvalur’s dedication to artistic excellence and cultural storytelling through fine writing instruments.

The rounded, cylindrical body profile draws inspiration from the Nahvalur Nautilus design. It is finished in deep black urushi lacquer with shimmering raden inlays that coil elegantly around the barrel, evoking the lithe movement of a serpent beneath moonlight.

Each Year of the Snake pen arrives in a refined wooden gift box and includes a Nahvalur converter. For writers seeking greater ink capacity, this pen can be converted to an eyedropper fill by removing the converter and applying silicone grease to the section threads.

"Ikkaku" — the Japanese word for narwhal — stands as a symbol of Nahvalur’s pursuit of luxury expressed through urushi, raden, and precise craftsmanship. With the "Year of the Snake," IKKAKU by Nahvalur continues to blend myth, tradition, and modern artistry.
