Crafted with Sailor's exceptional attention to detail and fitted with a smooth stainless steel nib, these fountain pens offer an outstanding writing experience while serving as collectible works of art.

Traditional Japanese Designs with Meaning

The Tsurumaru-ume Red edition features an elegant pattern of cranes and plum blossoms. In Japanese culture, both are cherished symbols of longevity, prosperity, and good fortune. The paired cranes facing one another represent harmony, lasting relationships, and the wish for a long, peaceful, and healthy life, making this pen a meaningful gift or treasured personal companion.

The Fugu-tateoke Blue edition is inspired by the Japanese word fuku, traditionally associated with both pufferfish and good fortune. The design reinterprets the classic tatewaku pattern—symbolizing rising steam and clouds—as playful bubbles, creating a joyful motif that expresses happiness, optimism, and good luck.

About Sailor

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.
