Sailor's limited edition Pillow Book series of pens is inspired by the famed work of Japanese literature by Sei Shonagon, a court lady who served the Japanese empress in the early 1000s. Among her varied subjects are many descriptions of nature, from which the colors of Sailor's new pen series are drawn. The Winter Sky pen is a dreamy lilac color with white gold accents that captures the subtle hues of a winter landscape.
Sailor's Pro Gear Slim fountain pen is a comfortable mid-sized pen, small enough to fit in a pocket but long enough for comfortable everyday use. It's got a classic shape with a flat-top cap and a round barrel and grip, and comes with a converter and ink cartridges to get you started. Sailor makes their gold nibs in-house, and they're known for being exceptionally precise, with a unique feedback sensation. (Note that Sailor nibs run on the fine side, like other Japanese fountain pen nibs.)
