The Sailor NAWATE Furubihaku fountain pen, a masterpiece that seamlessly blends traditional Japanese craftsmanship with modern luxury.

Named after Nawate, a Japanese word that refers to paths between rice paddies or long, straight roads, this pen series is distinguished by the unique vertical striations on the cap, a design element known as “stria shaping.” This elegant feature not only enhances the visual appeal of the pen, giving it a sleek, elongated look, but also provides a comfortable and stable grip for capping and uncapping, ensuring ease of use.
Aizu-nuri Lacquer Art: Timeless Japanese Craftsmanship
At the heart of the NAWATE Furubihaku fountain pen is the traditional Aizu-nuri lacquer technique, which has been practiced in the Aizu region of Fukushima since the late 16th century. The technique involves the application of Urushi (Japanese lacquer) in meticulous layers to create a finish that is both lustrous and durable. The humid climate of the Aizu region, perfect for handling lacquer, has fostered centuries of innovation and refinement in this ancient craft.
In this collection, the beauty of Aizu-nuri is displayed through the application of shredded strips of gold, silver, or reddish silver foil on a lacquered base. This intricate process results in a pen that exudes elegance and depth, with fine engravings and metallic accents that are both eye-catching and timeless.
Each Sailor NAWATE Furubihaku fountain pen comes housed in a beautifully crafted Paulownia wood box, embossed with the series logo in metallic foil. It is also accompanied by a handmade pen pouch, created from upcycled silk kimono fabric, adding another layer of luxury and tradition to the overall experience.
