Sailor Professional Gear Slim (Sapporo) – Solar Term Yuzuyu Set

Sailor's Solar Term series is inspired by the Japanese tradition of celebrating the shift between the four seasons by eating or doing certain things. This blue fountain pen is inspired by so-called Yuzu baths, which are taken on the day of the winter solstice to keep colds away all winter.

The pen comes in a nice gift box, along with a suitable ink (Zaza).

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 inks.

Sailor was founded as early as 1911, and has now come to define Japanese quality.

Comes with a converter. Note that Japanese fountain pens writes thinner lines than their European counterparts.
