ABOUT THIS PRODUCT

A special fountain pen crafted to celebrate the 140th anniversary of the birth of Sailor Pen’s founder, Kyugoro Sakata. The exquisite metalwork showcased in this fountain pen is by Morihito Katsura, an Important Intangible Cultural Heritage (Living National Treasure) of metalwork art. The design motifs are inspired by “Choju-giga”, an ancient Japanese masterpiece of scroll paintings that depict caricatures of birds and beasts.

Choju-giga was created from late Heian Era to Kamakura Era, and is considered Japan’s oldest work of Manga (comics). In ancient times, creatures depicted in Choju-giga - frogs, rabbits and monkeys - were considered messengers of god. Therefore, the portrayal of these creatures frolicking about happily, was celebrated as being auspicious. Various theories exist regarding the mysterious Choju-giga, but as the masterpiece is considered auspicious, we chose to feature motifs from Choju-giga in crafting fountain pens commemorating the 140th anniversary of our founder’s birth.

Morihito Katsura masterfully portrays the flowers and plants depicted in Choju-Giga with the Katakiribori technique on the sterling silver cap and barrel, using one edge of a chisel to engrave lines of different thicknesses, creating a compelling design. This is a Limited Edition of 8 Fountain Pens in the whole World and the one you are buying at Style of Zug is Nr. 04/08
