Sailor King of Pen Color Urushi Kaga Fountain Pen Sunflower

The Sailor King of Pen Color Urushi Kaga Sunflower is a fountain pen that celebrates Japanese craftsmanship and the luminous beauty of urushi lacquer. Made of ebonite coated with natural urushi lacquer, it features a refined hue inspired by the sunflower, applied by hand through a meticulous process that can take up to two months to complete.

Urushi is a natural lacquer derived from the sap of trees cultivated exclusively in East Asia, which reach maturity after about fifteen years. The finishing involves multiple successive stages — up to twelve layers of application and drying in humidity-controlled environments — to achieve a glossy, deep, and extraordinarily durable surface that will develop a richer patina over time.

The generous body of the King of Pen highlights the brilliance of the lacquer and houses the prestigious 21k bicolor gold nib in King of Pen size, a symbol of Sailor’s exceptional writing quality. Each stroke is smooth, balanced, and expressive, capturing the essence of Japanese calligraphic tradition.

The pen uses Sailor’s cartridge/converter filling system and comes in an elegant presentation box complete with a Sailor ink bottle and a cleaning cloth.

An exquisite work of art for collectors and writing enthusiasts alike, where technical mastery meets the timeless allure of Japanese urushi lacquer.
