Sailor Kamakura-Bori Hanahishi Green & Red Fountain Pen - Piece UniqueThe Sailor Kamakura-Bori Hanahishi Green & Red Fountain Pen brings a centuries-old Japanese carved lacquer tradition to a singular, contemporary writing instrument. Realized as a one-of-a-kind creation, it unites sculptural relief, luminous urushi color, and Sailor’s renowned 21k gold nib into an object that reads as both art and tool—quietly expressive, exacting, and unmistakably Japanese.Craftsmanship & DesignExecuted in the Kamakura-bori carved lacquer tradition, the surface reveals a rhythmic topography that catches light along every cut and facet. Layers of green and red lacquer accentuate the relief, with the deeper tones gathering in the valleys and the brighter highlights rising at the edges. The motif—Hanahishi—renders a classical flower-diamond geometry with crisp delineation and measured depth, producing a tactile pattern that rewards close inspection and invites the hand to follow its cadence.Urushi’s natural luster gives the piece an organic glow that changes with angle and ambient light, while the carved fields maintain structure and order. The overall impression is ceremonious yet restrained: a study in precision, proportion, and the dialogue between color and form.Writing ExperienceSailor’s in-house 21k gold nib, here in Medium, delivers the company’s signature blend of softness and control. The line is consistent, the flow steady, and the response finely tuned—supple enough for expressive notes, yet disciplined for extended pages of script. Paired with a cartridge/converter system for practical ink choice and maintenance, it offers everyday usability to match its artistry.Motif & AestheticsHanahishi, a time-honored lozenge-floral pattern found across classical Japanese decorative arts, provides a structured counterpoint to the organic qualities of urushi. In this green and red execution, the geometry feels both architectural and botanical—the crisp diamonds suggesting order, the rounded petals softening the grid. The color interplay underscores the relief, allowing each plane to announce itself subtly without breaking the harmony of the whole.Brand HeritageFounded in 1911 in Hiroshima, Sailor is one of the very few manufacturers that designs and produces its nibs entirely in-house. The 21k nib—an emblem of the brand—embodies more than a century of research into performance, metallurgy, and feel. Paired with traditional lacquer craft, this unique piece reflects Sailor’s dual commitment to technical excellence and cultural craftsmanship.Technical Specifications Nib: Sailor 21k solid gold, Medium Filling system: Sailor proprietary cartridge/converter Body finish: Urushi lacquer with Kamakura-bori carved relief Motif: Hanahishi (flower-diamond geometry) Color: Green and red Edition: Piece unique (one-of-a-kind) Origin: Japan Sailor Kamakura-Bori Hanahishi Green & Red Fountain Pen - Piece Unique

Craftsmanship & Design

Executed in the Kamakura-bori carved lacquer tradition, the surface reveals a rhythmic topography that catches light along every cut and facet. Layers of green and red lacquer accentuate the relief, with the deeper tones gathering in the valleys and the brighter highlights rising at the edges. The motif—Hanahishi—renders a classical flower-diamond geometry with crisp delineation and measured depth, producing a tactile pattern that rewards close inspection and invites the hand to follow its cadence.

Urushi’s natural luster gives the piece an organic glow that changes with angle and ambient light, while the carved fields maintain structure and order. The overall impression is ceremonious yet restrained: a study in precision, proportion, and the dialogue between color and form.
