Inspired by Japan's iconic traditional garment, the kimono, this series celebrates the timeless artistry and cultural significance embodied by kimonos. Often worn during festivals and special occasions, kimonos are adorned with intricate patterns and designs that carry deep symbolic meanings and heartfelt wishes.
Each Professional Gear Slim fountain pen in the Kimono Series is a work of art, crafted with meticulous attention to detail. The pen cap showcases auspicious patterns traditionally found on kimonos, while the barrel artfully represents the folds of a kimono collar, creating a harmonious blend of cultural homage and elegant design. The designs include motifs drawn from nature, floral arrangements, and geometric forms, reflecting the rich tapestry of Japanese aesthetics.
Sailor’s dedication to craftsmanship shines in this collection, as the pens are adorned using the yuu-bi maki-e technique, a lacquer art form renowned for its precision and beauty. With its blend of cultural storytelling and exceptional artistry, the Kimono Series is more than a writing instrument—it’s a celebration of tradition and style.
Discover the artistry of the Kimono Series and experience the grace of Japan’s cultural heritage through Sailor Pens’ exquisite craftsmanship.
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.)
