Rei Fukui Wakasa-nuri Fountain pen by Sailor

Rei Fukui Wakasa-nuri Fountain pen by Sailor

The Rei Urushi series is a prestigious collection from the Sailor brand. The Fukui Wakasa-nuri model, designed by artist Atsushi Taniguchi, is one of the most sumptuous illustrations. Wakasa-nuri (marbling technique) is a traditional lacquering technique handed down from generation to generation in Obama, in Fukui prefecture. Obama, where wakasa-nuri originated, faces Wakasa Bay and offers a number of picturesque sites. Wakasa-nuri is a unique lacquering technique that involves creating patterns using shells, eggshells, pine leaves and other natural plants and trees. The fountain pen features motifs in red, yellow and orange on a black urushi lacquer background.

The body and cap are made from ebonite, while the section is made from resin. Unrivalled in its sobriety and refinement, this fountain pen features a cap whose perfect shape covers the object with flamboyant aestheticism. With no clip, it exudes extraordinary elegance. The central part is decorated with a stylised ring and a thin ring at the section. Both are gold-plated, as you’d expect from Sailor.

The nib:

Its nib, in superbly engraved 21-carat gold, is available in size M.

The fountain pen – lying on royal blue velvet – is presented in a magnificent paulownia wood box (nicknamed the “imperial tree”) surrounded by a solid ribbon.

You will receive your Rei Fukui Wakasa-nuri fountain pen by Sailor accompanied with its converter, two cartridges, a superb kimono fabric case and a polishing cloth.
