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 Winter edition presents a waka by Ariwara no Motokata, a quiet meditation on time and transience: “With each passing year’s end, the snow falls heavier and so does the sense of growing older within me.” Crafted from refined PMMA resin and adorned with understated Yuubi Maki-e work, this Overseas Exclusive pen captures the serene stillness of a snowy landscape. The rhodium-plated 14K gold nib and silver trim mirror the crisp brilliance of winter light, bringing both purity and precision to every stroke. The Winter model embodies grace, introspection, and timeless craftsmanship.
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, Summer, and Autumn. Enhance your writing experience or complete your collection with this elegant tribute to the quiet beauty of winter.
