Item Description: This is a finely crafted fountain pen from Sailor's esteemed "Iromiyabi" (Traditional Lacquer Art - Sai-ga) series, presented in the exquisite “Awakou” (light fragrance) color. The pen body is made from durable ebonite and finished using a traditional Japanese urushi (lacquer) technique known as Ishime-nuri, where layers of colored lacquer are repeatedly applied and polished to achieve a stone-like textured surface. "Awakou" refers to the yellow-brown tone of cloth dyed with cloves, a color cherished in the Heian period and associated with elegance and fragrance. This heritage is gracefully embodied in the pen's aesthetic and name. The pen is fitted with Sailor’s oversized 21K gold nib (Medium), offering exceptional flexibility and a luxurious writing experience. It supports both cartridge and converter filling systems. A refined and weighty instrument, this piece showcases Japanese craftsmanship and historical artistry in one. It comes in a specially designed Paulownia wood box, tied with traditional Sanada-himo cord, and includes two black ink cartridges, a converter, and a cleaning cloth. A rare collector's item that merges writing functionality with cultural elegance.
