Introducing the latest addition to the captivating Wabi Sabi collection – the oversized Sailor 1911 King of Pens Wabi Sabi fountain pen. This exquisite masterpiece showcases a distinctive design with a textured blue urushi lacquered ebonite cap, barrel, and grip section, expertly crafted using the traditional Urushi technique known as ‘Irogasane Sabinuri’. The pen boasts Sailor’s iconic 21k gold nib, available in the King of Pens size.
Each pen in the Wabi Sabi limited edition series is uniquely numbered, with only 50 pieces available. This marks the third installment in the Wabi Sabi series, featuring the artistic mastery of Urushi expert Wayo Shimamori.
Wabi Sabi, deeply rooted in ancient Japanese philosophy, represents a profound spiritual concept. ‘Wabi’ embodies a sense of tranquility, simplicity, and inner calm, while ‘Sabi’ celebrates the aesthetic beauty found in the humble, unconventional, and unrefined. ‘Wabi Sabi’ seamlessly merges these two values, epitomizing the appreciation of the imperfect and transient nature of existence, embracing the ever-flowing river of life.
The urushi lacquer used in this pen originates from the sap of trees cultivated exclusively in East Asian countries, taking a painstaking 15 years to mature. After years of careful cultivation, the sap is harvested and skillfully blended into lacquer, hand-applied to the ebonite surface of the pen. It is then carefully kept in a high humidity environment until it transforms into a stunning, waterproof, and exceptionally durable finish.
This fountain pen arrives complete with a Sailor proprietary converter, an exclusive Sailor ink cartridge, a pen sleeve, and a convenient cleaning cloth. Experience the allure of Wabi Sabi with this remarkable writing instrument.
