Here are two examples of tamenuri work on Izumo fountain pens; the first Akatamenuri (red) and the second Soratamenuri (a Sea Green). On the first pen the base is a bright red with a much darker almost black red overcoat. You can see the base at edges initially and as the pen ages it will gradually show through all over.
And the Soratamenuri.
Nakaya also does pens with both the single color and multiple color techniques.
