Finished in deep black urushi lacquer with gold trim, the pen highlights the refined elegance of traditional Japanese lacquerwork.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUrushi is a rare natural lacquer made from the sap of the urushi tree, which grows primarily in East Asia and takes many years to mature. Multiple layers are carefully applied by hand and cured in a controlled, high-humidity environment, with each layer fully hardening before the next is added. This meticulous process can take up to two months to complete, resulting in a rich, glossy surface with remarkable depth and durability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNib: KOP 21K Gold with Bicolor plating\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e Material: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eEbonite with urushi lacquer finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eDimensions: φ20mm x 153.5mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e32.8g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFill Mechanism: Cartridge\/Converter (Sailor proprietary) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGift Box: Cashew coated wood box\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eContents: 1 Converter, 1 cleaning cloth, 2 ink cartridges (black), an instruction manual, a product manual and a warranty card.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMore \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/yosekastationery.mom\/collections\/sailor-bespoke-fountain-pens\"\u003eSailor Bespoke Pens\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSailor was founded in 1911. The founder Kyugoro Sakata was given a fountain pen by a friend returning from the UK after studying at the Royal Navy. He was inspired and determined to start making fountain pens in Japan. Sailor became the first fountain pen company in Japan, and earned many more firsts in Japan -- first ballpoint pen in 1948, first ink cartridge in 1954 and first brush pen in 1972, etc.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn the 1970's, Sailor made a popular beginner fountain pen, \"Candy,\" that sold more than 15 million within a few years. However, the number of the fountain pen users were declining as ballpoint pens became more mainstream.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn 1981, Sailor decided to go in the opposite direction from their \"Candy\" pen and began focusing on producing a higher standard series, which is the 1911 series we see today. Their focus on making a higher standard provides a great foundation for their later series of pens. Today, Sailor makes one of the most diverse lines of nibs, some of which are designed for specific writing purposes such as writing musical notes to one that is best for character writing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 1911 offers a great balance and a smooth writing experience. The pen writes with a slight but satisfying feedback and it fits perfectly in the hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDiameter: 18.7 mm \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLength: 151.6 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight 31.9 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Sailor","offers":[{"title":"Medium","offer_id":53376233603285,"sku":".GP\/10-9175-420","price":1900.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Broad","offer_id":53376233636053,"sku":".GP\/10-9175-620","price":1900.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1717\/0621\/files\/DSC_1021_fcbe8a22-a042-4ccc-af85-709769a53a2a.jpg?v=1774029939","url":"https:\/\/yosekastationery.mom\/products\/sailor-king-of-pen-color-urushi-gold-trim-fountain-pen-black","provider":"Yoseka Stationery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
