For centuries, princesses have captured the hearts and imaginations of people around the world with their grace, beauty, and noble spirit. Across cultures and throughout history, these regal figures have been cherished symbols of elegance and virtue.
Now, Sailor is paying homage to these beloved icons with a stunning collection of fountain pens inspired by the enchanting princesses of Japanese fairytales. Each pen in this series is a testament to the enduring allure of these mythical characters, using iconic motifs and colors that combine to tell a beautiful story. From delicate cherry blossoms to majestic dragons, every detail is intricately expressed with Raden (mother-of-pearl) and “yubi maki-e” on the barrels and caps, ensuring that each pen is a true work of art.
Princesses are loved and admired throughout history, often being the focal point of many myths, legends, and true stories. Princess Koto: A fallen Heike clan princess was washed ashore and saved by seaside villagers. To thank them, she played a “koto” harp beautifully each day on the beach, but soon fell ill and passed away. Ever since, the beach sand became musical sand, and the beach was named “Beach of Koto.”
The collection features four different types of Princesses: Princess Uguisu, Princess Ochikubo, Princess Shirotae, and Princess Koto. Princess Uguisu & Princess Ochikubo pens boast Gold IP trim with Solid 14K Gold, while Princess Shirotae & Princess Koto pens feature Silver plated trim with Solid 14k Rhodium Plated Gold Nib.
