Sailor 1911 Large 2nd Edition Ninja Yuubi Maki-e Fountain Pen Shach...
Pre-order now for delivery in September.
Please note: orders containing pre-orders will be shipped when all items on the order are available.
Named after the company's founding year, the 1911 range was made to maintain the standards of quality and craftsmanship that had made Sailor so well respected from their beginnings. The rounded ends give the 1911 a more classic 'cigar' shape than the Pro Gear range, for those who prefer a more traditional look.
Ninja were prominent from the Muromachi period to the Edo period in Japan, they were employed by warring feudal lords and given missions involving participating in night raids, sabotage and assassination. However, their most important missions were gathering intelligence and relaying information back to their allies. More often than not, they carried weapons but in contrast to their Hollywood counterparts, they were supposed to stay hidden and gather intelligence rather than using their impeccable gymnastics skills to slay hordes of the enemy. Regardless, they were crucial to warfare tactics in their time.
This second series of pens takes inspiration from the weapons used by Ninja. The Shachihoko, however, is a mystical fish with the head of a lion. Since the fish-slap as a weapon is more Monty Python than Ninja, this is more likely related to the use of the Shachihoko as a rooftop decoration, commonly shining in gold at each end of the roof's ridgeline. The maki-e artwork on this pen shows a Ninja creeping along a rooftop in the pouring rain. Stealth, even if they got wet.
14k gold nib, rhodium plated. Refill using Sailor ink cartridges, or fit a converter for use with bottled ink.
Orders placed before 3pm Monday to Friday will normally be sent out the same day.
