Sailor Fountain Pen Rei 5th Series - Premium Japanese Writing Instrument with Nagano Sosaku Shunkei Kiso Nuri Lacquer Finish | Perfect for Calligraphy, Journaling & Luxury Gift Giving

The precious value of lacquerware was established during the Nara and Heian periods as a symbol of wealth among nobility and as a beauteous, sacred embodiment of the gods.

The word “Urushi (Japanese lacquer)” is said to have originated from the word “Uruwashi”, meaning “there is nothing more beautiful”. With the Japanese aesthetic beliefs flourishing at the time, it was only natural that Urushi was coined from the word Uruwashi. The Chinese character for Uruwashi can also be read as “rei”.

The Traditional Japanese Lacquer Art REI Series was so named to reflect the passion with which Sailor Pen crafts these writing instruments, embodying the profoundly moving beauty of Japanese tradition, providing people with joy and inspiration. From the fountain pen barrel to the pen pouch and the beautifully braided high-grade Sanada strap on the paulownia wood case, everything is crafted in Japan to celebrate our traditions and origins with the REI Series.

N.B.: Urushi products are made by hand one by one and can change over time.  

Comes with a pen pouch and packaged in a Paulownia box.
