Sailor 1911 Fountain Pen - Shikiori 5th Anniversary - Minori (Limited Edition)

A new reflective design inspired by a grain of rice “Minori” (meaning bountiful harvest in Japanese) is designed to echo the colors in rice paddies, with the soft reflection of a blue sky in the body, the green of growing rice shown on the section, and golden hour sunshine glinting off of the water at sundown captured in the cap. These intricate details come together in the shape of a grain of rice and are complemented by brilliant gold ion-plated accents with a 14K gold Medium-Fine nib.

The fountain pen arrives in a set, with a 20ml bottle of color-changing ink. This ink writes green and then becomes more hazel-colored as it dries, mimicking the life cycle of rice as it grows and then eventually returns to the earth. Just like a grain of rice can only be harvested once, the Sailor 1911 Shikiori 5th Anniversary “Minori” is only being produced once.

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:

1. New nib does not have '1911' engraved on it
2. New design of the anchor
3. New design of the "SAILOR" engraving below the anchor
4. 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.
