The fifth installment of Sailor’s Teatime Around the World series celebrates the serene elegance of the Japanese tea ceremony, Cha-no-yu. This centuries-old ritual embodies harmony, respect, purity, and tranquility, and the Nerikiri fountain pen pays tribute to the artistry of Japanese confectionery and tea traditions, blending aesthetics and craftsmanship in every detail.
Inspired by Nerikiri, a traditional Japanese sweet made from white bean paste (Shiro-an) and soft mochi (Gyuhi), the pen captures the delicate colors and artistry of these seasonal confections, which are carefully selected to complement the flavor and experience of Koicha, thick matcha served during tea ceremonies. Additional ceremonial elements, such as Kuromoji (a wooden food pick used to cut sweets) and Kaishi (traditional washi paper used as a napkin or plate for sweets), inform the pen’s refined design.
The Nerikiri Slim Fountain Pen features a translucent violet barrel, a translucent beige cap, and a translucent white cap top, finished with IP gold-plated trim and a 14K gold nib available in Medium Fine and Medium, delivering Sailor’s signature smooth writing experience.
A limited edition of 1,300 pieces worldwide and presented in an elegant gift box, this pen is more than a writing instrument, it is a tribute to the art, spirituality, and refined aesthetics of the Japanese tea ceremony, designed to delight the senses with every word.
