Sailor has thoughtfully chosen four seasonal waka poems from the Kokin Wakashu (compiled in 905) and the Shin Kokin Wakashu (compiled in 1205), printing them onto fountain pens. Waka is a traditional Japanese poetry form that elegantly expresses nature and emotions. These poems often focus on themes like the changing seasons and love, using simple yet deeply meaningful words.
The Spring edition features a waka by Ki no Tomonori, expressing the delicate melancholy of fleeting beauty: “It is a spring day with soft sunlight, yet why are the cherry blossoms so restless and falling?” Crafted from PMMA resin and adorned with subtle Yuubi Maki-e work, this Overseas Exclusive fountain pen captures the ephemeral charm of spring blossoms drifting through the air.
The pen is fitted with Sailor’s signature 14K solid gold nib, trimmed in gold IP to match the gentle warmth of the season. The Spring model embodies elegance and renewal, perfect for those who find poetry in impermanence.
This pen is available in Fine (F), Medium-Fine (MF), and Medium (M) nib sizes, and also comes in three other seasonal designs: Summer, Autumn, and Winter. Enhance your pen collection with this exquisite piece or enjoy it as a timeless writing companion inspired by Japan’s poetic heritage.
