About Sailor Pen Japan
Sailor Pen Japan was founded in 1911 by Kyugoro Sakata, an engineer from the historic naval port of Hiroshima in Japan, who was introduced to a fountain pen brought from England by a sailor friend. He was determined to produce a finely crafted Japanese writing instrument with the highest specification and writing expertise.
The company was named Sailor Pen with the aspiration to internationally expand this homegrown name, Sailor Pen, like the voyages of a Sailor.
Sailor Pen became the first company to produce fountain pens for the Japanese domestic market and is credited with being one of the oldest pen companies in Japan. Sailor Pen has continued to uphold its legacy of quality and technical excellence for over 100 years since.
Today, Sailor Pens are remembered by avid fountain pen users as the gold standard in Japanese nib making from their late nib craftsman, Nagahara Nobuyoshi 長原義. Many of the Sailor Pen nib designs are highly sought after by collectors for their extraordinary writing ability, such as the Sailor Concorde nib, which allows both fine nib and brush stroke writing on a single nib when flipped.
Sailor Pen is also known for making Japanese makie fountain pens, which are usually made by Japanese master craftsmen in the Kaga 加賀 makie style. The remarkable Sailor Limited Edition fountain pens made to commemorate its 100th anniversary at Arita, the Sailor Limited Edition Noto Nogoro fountain pens, and the Nagahara Nobuyoshi retirement pens are just a few of the many popular fountain pens made by the Japanese-based pen manufacturer. in Hiroshima.

Namiki Yukari size Bamboo Fountain pen maki-e new
3.500,00€The fountain pens in the Yukari collection by Namiki are delicate works of art, signed by their author, whose motif, borrowed from the symbols of Japanese tradition, has been engraved free-hand on copper-plate.
The ink is fed either by a piston converter or by a cartridge.Each of the Yukari fountain pens requires, as do the Emperors, three months and sometimes more of expert, loving and minute craftsmanship.
Such is the time that must be devoted to bringing to perfection the ornamental grace, true to the Maki-e craft, mingling polychromatic lacquers and gold dust.The Maki-e, a decorating technique patiently refined by Nipponese artists over the centuries, came to full bloom in the 14th and 15th centuries A. D., when, as it was highly sought by the aristocracy, it came to enrich the looks of the implements used in the tea ceremony.
Maki-e is part and parcel of the cultural heritage of old Japan. It involves no less than thirty some different processes, that concur in decors of utmost subtlety and unrivalled luxury.
Patiently and serenely adorned following the rules of that ancestral craft, the fountain pens in the Yukari collection sing in praise of a civilisation foregone.
Only those to whom time is irrelevant may decorate with infinitesimal paintbrush strokes, these loving birds, symbol of longevity, fruitful life, borrowed from the mythology of ancient Japan.
