Product Description
The Sailor King of Pen Orange Mandarin 21K Fountain Pen is a remarkable expression of Japanese craftsmanship, combining Sailor's iconic King of Pen design with the timeless beauty of traditional Urushi lacquer. Inspired by the vibrant hue of Japanese mandarin oranges, its brilliant orange finish is created using natural Urushi, a precious lacquer made from the sap of trees that grow only in East Asia. These trees require around 15 years to mature, making Urushi an exceptionally rare and valuable material.
Each pen is meticulously handcrafted, with the Urushi lacquer applied in up to twelve individual layers. Every coating must fully cure in a carefully controlled, high-humidity environment before the next is applied, resulting in a process that can take up to two months to complete. The finished surface develops a rich, lustrous sheen while providing outstanding durability, wear resistance, and long-lasting protection for the pen.
Completing this masterpiece is Sailor's renowned oversized 21K solid gold nib, celebrated for its exceptionally smooth writing performance, consistent ink flow, and signature tactile feedback. The Sailor King of Pen Orange Mandarin is more than a fine writing instrument—it is a collectible work of art that showcases the enduring heritage of Japanese pen-making and the beauty of traditional Urushi craftsmanship.
