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 Summer edition showcases a waka by Kiyohara no Fukayabu, capturing the gentle transition between night and dawn: “Before the night truly begins, summer has already given way to dawn. When seeing the clouds in the moon now resting?” Handcrafted from luminous PMMA resin with delicate Yuubi Maki-e artistry, this Overseas Exclusive pen evokes the soft light of early summer mornings. The rhodium-plated 14K gold nib and silver trim reflect the serene coolness of the season, balancing refinement and tranquility. The Summer model offers a writing experience as calm and reflective as a still pond under moonlight.
This pen is available in Fine (F), Medium-Fine (MF), and Medium (M) nib sizes, and is also offered in three other seasonal designs: Spring, Autumn, and Winter. Enhance your writing collection or gift someone special this elegant expression of Japanese artistry and craftsmanship.
