Sailor 1911 Full-Size Rei 3rd series Aomori Hachinohe-nuri Fountain Pen

The Sailor 1911 Full Size Rei 3rd series Aomori Hachinohe-nuri Fountain Pen is hand-finished by artist Hirokazu Shimamori, who is a skilled craftsman based in Aomori Prefecture in the north of Japan. Each pen is individually hand-finished by the artist, and no two pens will ever be exactly alike.

Lacquer is not only beautiful in appearance, but also has excellent durability, adhesiveness, heat, insulation, antiseptic, antibacterial, and anti chemical characteristics. As a result, it has been widely used in temples, shrines, furniture, and jewelry since ancient times. The careful and time-consuming work done by skilled craftsmen has never changed and will continue to have value as a craft for a long time to come.

The barrel and cap features a deep blue green color with hints of gold with a black resin gripping section. The nib is a 21K Gold Nib.

Part of Sailor's Bespoke Collection, this is the third series of 1911 Full-Size Rei Urushi fountain pens, featuring natural urushi lacquer over an ebony wood cap and barrel. Each of the pens in the series is finished by a different artist, and each artist is based in a different part of Japan and utilizes a technique for which that region is known.

Each pen ships in a specially decorated paulownia wood presentation box which includes a special pen pouch, cleaning cloth, and starter pack of ink cartridges along with the converter and an instruction booklet.
