Spring Sky is inspired by one of the most famous Japanese books of all time – The Pillow Book (Makura no Sōshi). The pen body is in shades of purple and pink. These particular colors come from a quote from the book:
In Spring, the early morning sky is the most beautiful sight! As the morning sunlight ‘creeps’ slowly over the hills, their outlines are coloured a pinky red and wisps of purplish clouds trail over them.
Sailor Professional Gear Slim is a true classic, known for its world-leading 14k gold pen nib. The Pro Gear Slim model - or Sapporo as it is also called - is Sailor's slightly smaller variant of their Professional Gear, but also perhaps their most popular and affordable fountain pen. Feel free to combine with any of Sailor's ink.
Sailor was founded as early as 1911, and has now come to define Japanese quality.
Comes with a converter. Note that Japanese fountain pen nibs write thinner lines than their European counterparts.
