Introduction

Shikiori Sansui is a collection of writing instruments that evoke the essence of Japan’s diverse and breathtaking seasons. The name “SANSUI” itself pays homage to the great vitality of flora and fauna, which tenaciously thrive in the wild. This collection includes fountain pens with 14K gold nibs and ballpoint pens, each available in four different colors, reflecting the unique beauty of each season.

Nature shaped through the ages and the life nurtured by that bountiful nature. The flora and fauna that thrive in mountains and by rivers, highlight the 4 seasons with an array of expressions.

Seasonal Inspiration:Spring – “Yuu-tsubame”: Swallows, considered messengers of good fortune in spring, inspire this pen. Witness the graceful flight of these birds across the beautiful spring skies at sunset.Summer – “Komakusa”: Dicentra, known as the “bleeding heart” and the queen of alpine flora, thrives gloriously in the challenging summer mountain climate, serving as the muse for this pen.Autumn – “Nadeshiko”: The delicate flowers of “Yamato-nadeshiko” (dianthus superbus) lend their elegant colors to lush fields along crystal-clear rivers, offering inspiration for this pen.Winter – “Kamoshika”: Emulating the quiet philosopher of the forest, the serow, which gracefully braves the snowscape in its winter fur, this pen captures the essence of winter’s serenity.

The Sailor1911S Standard ballpoint pen has a tapered, cigar-shape profile with a flat top finial. The smooth-writing 0.7mm ballpoint tip cartridge extends with a twist of the barrel’s top half. Includes black ink.
