The collection is a masterful collaboration with third-generation lacquer artist Toru Yoshida, offered in two expressions of black: \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/yosekastationery.mom\/products\/sailor-large-fountain-pen-nawate-kuroginhaku-sei\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eSei\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e in a lustrous gloss and \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/yosekastationery.mom\/products\/sailor-large-fountain-pen-nawate-kuroginhaku-ei\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eEi\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e in a calm, refined matte.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLayers of Urushi lacquer are brushed in irregular strokes, with Kuroginhaku foil carefully scattered across the surface. Made from 99.99% pure silver, the foil reacts naturally with sulfur to create silver sulfide, producing rich depth and subtle tonal variation. This process results in organic patterns that shift with the light, allowing \u003cem\u003eSei\u003c\/em\u003e to shine vividly like a star against the night sky, while \u003cem\u003eEi\u003c\/em\u003e reveals itself gently under the soft glow of moonlight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNib: 21K Solid Gold Large\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNib Size: Medium only\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaterial: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eEbonite\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eUnique craftsmanship of applying Black Silver Foil on Aizu-nuri lacquered Ebonite\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTrim: IP Gold plating\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComes in a high-grade Paulownia wood box\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e, 1 converter, 2 black cartridges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFill Mechanism: Cartridge\/Converter (Sailor proprietary) \u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e \u003cspan\u003eφ18.7 × 151.6mm\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWeight: \u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e31.4g\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/yosekastationery.mom\/collections\/sailor\"\u003eMore Sailor\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cspan\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 decided 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 1970s, 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\u003e\u003c\/span\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\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sailor","offers":[{"title":"Sei - Glossy Finish","offer_id":52948284080341,"sku":".GP\/10-1992-428","price":1700.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1717\/0621\/files\/DSC_9211_652473ba-a7c6-4fcf-bdda-864e458bfa61.jpg?v=1767625958","url":"https:\/\/yosekastationery.mom\/products\/sailor-large-fountain-pen-nawate-kuroginhaku-sei","provider":"Yoseka Stationery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
