Sailor Maki-e Fountain Pen Sakura Nagare - King of Pens
Crafted By Maki-e Artist: Tadashi Namakura
The Maki-e art is Japanese lacquer sprinkled with gold or silver powder as a decoration. The technique was developed mainly in the Heian period (794–1185) and blossomed in the Edo period(1603–1868).
The name Sakura Nagare translates to Flowing Cherry Blossom, which describes the pattern on the pen developed in black resin resembles a river, with gold flakes, signifying cherry blossom, flowing through.
The beautifully crafted King of Pen-sized writing instrument is complemented by Sailor's 21 carat gold nib, in nib size Medium, Broad.
Sailor has made a new design for their nibs. The pens which are produced from January 2022 onwards will have the new-design nib. The difference between the old nib and the new nib:
- New nib does not have '1911' engraved on it
- New design of the anchor
- New design of the "SAILOR" engraving below the anchor
- The 'H' letter (abbreviation of 'Hard') is removed from the nib size indicator on the left side of the new nib
Depending on the availability of our stock, you may receive the old Sailor nib design or the new Sailor nib.
