Lapis Lazuli Blue in Traditional Ishime-nuri Lacquer

This edition showcases the radiant Ruri (Lapis Lazuli Blue) finish, applied by hand using the historic Ishime-nuri lacquer technique—an intricate process known for its stone-like texture and exceptional durability. The deep, shimmering blue evokes the beauty and symbolism of lapis lazuli, long associated with wisdom and serenity in Japanese art.

Sailor pens was established in 1911 in Japan, becoming the first to produce fountain pens in their home country. They have subsequently built a first-class reputation in the manufacture of the highest quality nibs, with all parts made in their own factory in Hiroshima. Their flagship collections are the classic 1911 and boldly designed Professional Gear, all available with a 14k or 21k gold nib. The Sailor name comes from founder Kyugoro Sakata's British sailor friend who introduced him to fountain pens.
