Shikiori - the four seasons. The changing seasons are hugely important to Japanese culture, and Sailor's Shikiori range looks at the seasons of Japan in a number of different ways. In this Tsukuyo-no-Minamo ('Moonlit Water') series, each season is seen through reflections on the water's surface. The white finial at the end of the cap represents the moon, following the evening/night theme of this series.

Based on the beautiful ProColor pens, the simple curves of the barrel and elegant trim highlight the cap and barrel finishes perfectly. As you'd expect from Sailor, the pen, and especially the nib, are made to the highest standards.

Supplied in a smart gift box. Takes Sailor ink cartridges, or fit a converter (supplied separately) to use bottled ink.

Yozakura - moonlit cherry blossom. The symbol of spring in Japan, cherry blossom is representative not only of the spring in general, but of the impermanent nature of all things in life. Here, the slight sparkle in the finish represents moonlit cherry blossom, as it is washed away in a stream of freshly melted snow.

How to use:

To use the Sailor Shikiori Fountain Pen, gently dip the nib into your preferred fountain pen ink or use compatible ink cartridges. Begin writing with a light pressure to allow smooth ink flow. After use, securely cap the pen to prevent the nib from drying out. For optimal performance, clean the nib periodically by flushing with lukewarm water and gently wiping/air dry.

Care Instructions:

Clean the pen regularly by flushing the nib and feed with lukewarm water to prevent ink buildup. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials on the pen's surface to maintain its finish. Store the pen capped and in a dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures to preserve the resin and metal components.
