Sailor
In 1911, Mr. Kyugoro Sakata, an engineer from the historic naval port of Hiroshima, was introduced to a fountain pen brought from England by a sailor friend. Fascinated by it, he soon became determined to produce finely crafted writing instruments. Sailor fountain pens and inks continue to be made in Hiroshima using the best quality materials by skilled craftsmen to provide superior writing performance.
Established in 1911 in Kure, Hiroshima, The Sailor Pen Company holds a distinguished place in Japanese pen craftsmanship. Sailor produced Japan's first fountain pen with a gold nib and introduced ballpoint pens to the Japanese market. Today, Sailor's expertise extends across fountain pens, dip pens, brush ink pens, and premium fountain pen inks.
Standout designs include the iconic 1911 and Pro Gear models with their precision engineering, elegant aesthetics, and writing comfort. Complementary accessories such as fountain pen converters and leather pen cases add to the practical luxury of Sailor's range.
