It features a deep red body with a glossy finish, layered with black swirls and scattered gold flecks that subtly emerge through the surface, creating a rich and unique pattern.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Wabi-sabi\" is a traditional Japanese concept that finds beauty in imperfection, impermanence, and simplicity; aging and wear are seen as signs of the cycle of life. Wabi-sabi aesthetics often incorporate a natural, rough, asymmetric, and unconventional designs. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSailor’s Wabi Sabi fountain pens feature a large King of Pen-size body fitted with a 21K gold nib. The barrels are made of ebonite, a lightweight yet durable material that gently warms to the touch. Each pen showcases a unique finish created using the Irogasane Sabinuri technique by urushi artist Wayo Shimamori, where layers of urushi lacquer and polishing powder are carefully built up to form a textured, organic surface. Additional layers of colored lacquer and metallic powder are then applied to complete the design. (Please note that these pens are not designed to be posted to preserve the Sabinuri urushi finish.)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis pen is extremely limited to just 20 pieces worldwide.

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 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\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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sailor","offers":[{"title":"Medium","offer_id":53600469450965,"sku":".GP\/10-2213-430\/discontinued","price":2200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Broad","offer_id":53600469483733,"sku":".GP\/10-2213-630\/discontinued","price":2200.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1717\/0621\/files\/DSC_1796_afbc2176-bd9c-4df8-94d8-eb86dedaacad.jpg?v=1775846263","url":"https:\/\/yosekastationery.mom\/products\/sailor-wabi-sabi-extreme-fountain-pen-kiwami-limited-edition","provider":"Yoseka Stationery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
