Sailor 1911 - 100th Anniversary Fountain Pen

Sailor 100th Anniversary Limited Edition: The Shima Kuwa (Island Mulberry)

Celebrate a century of Japanese excellence with the Sailor 100th Anniversary Shima Kuwa. Released in 2011 and limited to only 1,000 pieces worldwide, this rare masterpiece embodies Sailor’s dedication to "dignity and beauty." It is a perfect fusion of legendary nib craftsmanship and ancient woodworking artistry.

The Artistry of "Golden Mulberry"

The body is crafted from Shimokuwa, a precious wood sourced from Mikurajima in the Izu Seven Islands. Known as "Golden Mulberry," this timber is revered for its incredible tenacity, fine grain, and natural golden luster.

To elevate the wood's natural beauty, renowned Kaga Makie artist Kosen Oshita applied multiple layers of premium Joboji lacquer—the highest grade of domestic raw lacquer from Iwate Prefecture. The result is a deep, soulful gloss that protects the wood while highlighting its unique grain.
