Sailor 1911S Fountain Pen - Special Edition - Ninja Maki-e - Shachihoko

The Ninja played a significant role in Japanese history, especially during the Muromachi period (1336-1573) and the Edo period (1603-1868). Employed by warring feudal lords, the Ninja were known for their stealth, espionage, and combat skills. Their missions included night raids, sabotage, and gathering crucial information about the enemy. To survive and successfully return to their lords, Ninjas often used a variety of weapons, such as swords, shurikens, and makibishi.

The Ninja #2 Series draws inspiration from the most mysterious figures in Japanese history, who were known for their unique weapons and methods. The pens in this series are named after some of these weapons, each with its own distinctive design:

Shachihoko: The Shachihoko pen has a transparent black body and a 14K gold nib with rhodium plating. The intricate design features a Shachihoko, which is a mythical sea monster that has a head of a tiger and a body of a carp. Shachihoko statues can be found on the roof of many historical castles.

Includes one proprietary Sailor converter for using with bottled ink, and two proprietary Sailor black ink cartridges.
