In Japan, the ever-changing seasonal scenery—from the budding of cherry blossoms to the cold winter winds known as kogarashi—has long been cherished as fuubutsushi, poetic symbols of the seasons woven into everyday life. Sailor Pen is pleased to introduce fountain pens inspired by these iconic sceneries of Japan, expressed through a fresh and innovative design approach.
Each pen in the series is a Sailor Professional Gear Slim with a 14K solid gold nib, available with a Fine, Medium-Fine, and Medium nibs size options. The key differences lie in the barrel color and the delicate graphic that is subtly engraved onto the pen's body:
Introducing the four Japanese Scenery pens:
-
Hana-ikada: This pen features a soft, pale peach color, reminiscent of spring. The barrel is adorned with a graceful depiction of cherry petals drifting on water.
-
Nyudogumo: This design uses a clear, light sky blue, embodying the refreshing feeling of summer. It is subtly engraved with a graphic of a towering, fluffy summer cloud.
-
Tasogare: A bright, warm yellow/gold hue is used for this pen, reflecting the golden light of dusk. The graphic shows the quiet beauty of a field bathed in a golden sunset light.
-
Kogarashi: This pen is characterized by a muted winter tone (as referenced by its theme) of a brownish gray color. It represents the strong early winter wind that strips the leaves from the trees, capturing the raw, crisp feeling of late autumn/early winter.
