The NAWATE Fountain Pen Kuroginhaku collection presents Sei ( 惺) in a lustrous glossy finish and Ei ( 影) in a refined matte finish. Layers of Urushi lacquer are brushed in irregular strokes, upon which Kuroginhaku – black silver foil – is delicately and purposefully scattered.This intricate process reveals a depth, subtle shading, and shifting expressions under changing light; nuances impossible to achieve with a uniform black surface.

Sei ( 惺) shines like a radiant star against the jet-black night sky, while Ei ( 影) emerges gently under the calm illumination of moonlight. Together, they embody the elegance and profound beauty of black.

Cap Featuring Stria Shaping
Lacquer artist, Toru Yoshida, is the third generation head of “Shikko Yoshida”, an “Urushi (Japanese lacquer)” atelier in the Aizu Wakamatsu region. He does not limit himself to the Aizu-nuri lacquering technique, but fuses various forms and techniques that best suit each lacquerware he crafts. His ingenuity has given birth to Sailor Pen’ s Traditional Japanese Lacquer Art NAWATE Haku-chirashi Fountain Pens. The striation that flows vertically through the fountain pen cap gives it the visual effect of being elegantly long and provides a stable grip for capping and uncapping. It is a masterpiece of beautility.
