Sailor x Kamawanu Pro Gear Fountain Pen - Tsurumaru-ume - Limited Edition

Born from the theme of “Cherishing Everyday Life,” this limited-edition fountain pen collection brings together Sailor’s renowned fountain pen craftsmanship and Kamawanu’s heritage of traditional Japanese textiles. Inspired by Kamawanu’s hand-dyed tenugui cotton cloths, the collaboration features two distinctive designs that pair traditional Japanese motifs with Sailor’s signature writing experience. Each pen features elegant IP gold trim and an IP gold-plated stainless steel nib. The set also includes a matching tenugui, an ink cartridge, and an instructional booklet, all presented in a premium custom gift box.

The Tsurumaru-ume features a warm ivory body adorned with vivid red cranes and plum blossoms, traditional Japanese motifs symbolizing longevity, peace, and harmony. The matching tenugui carries the same pattern, creating a beautifully coordinated set that celebrates Japanese artistry and makes a thoughtful gift for stationery enthusiasts.

Sailor 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.

In 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.

In 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.

The 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.
