For centuries, princesses have captured the hearts and imaginations of people around the world with their grace, beauty, and noble spirit. Across cultures and throughout history, these regal figures have been cherished symbols of elegance and virtue.

Now, Sailor is paying homage to these beloved icons with a stunning collection of fountain pens inspired by the enchanting princesses of Japanese fairytales. Each pen in this series is a testament to the enduring allure of these mythical characters, using iconic motifs and colors that combine to tell a beautiful story. From delicate cherry blossoms to majestic dragons, every detail is intricately expressed with Raden (mother-of-pearl) and “yubi maki-e” on the barrels and caps, ensuring that each pen is a true work of art.

Princess Uguisu: Princess Uguisu is a bush warbler, living disguised in human form. One day, she receives a young visitor and asks him not to open the chest of drawers, but curiosity tempts him to take a peek. With the promise broken, she says she must leave, and she flies off in her avian form.

Sailor's Pro Gear Slim fountain pen is a comfortable mid-sized pen, small enough to fit in a pocket but long enough for comfortable everyday use. It's got a classic shape with a flat-top cap and a round barrel and grip, and comes with a converter and ink cartridges to get you started. Sailor makes their gold nibs in-house, and they're known for being exceptionally precise, with a unique feedback sensation. (Note that Sailor nibs run on the fine side, like other Japanese fountain pen nibs.)
