Rei Ishikawa Kaga-nuri Fountain pen by Sailor

The Rei Urushi series is a prestigious collection from the Sailor brand. The Ishikawa Kaga-nuri model, designed by artist Isana Kobayashi, is one of the most sumptuous illustrations. Kaga Maki-e is one of the most popular general Maki-e techniques. Negonoro-nuri technique evolved from this, and consists of applying black urushi lacquer as an undercoat, followed by layers of vermillon lacquer so that when the vermillon layers fade in places, the black urushi lacquer reveals itself in a very particular form. The resulting expression of the lacquer is called suremamo and gives a breathtaking result.

The body and cap are made from ebonite, while the section is made from black resin. Unrivalled in its sobriety and refinement, this fountain pen features a cap whose perfect shape covers the body 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 Ishikawa Kaga-nuri fountain pen by Sailor accompanied with its converter, two cartridges, a superb kimono fabric case and a polishing cloth.
