Shikiori - the four seasons. The changing seasons are hugely important to Japanese culture, and Sailor's Shikiori range looks at the seasons of Japan in a number of different ways.

Based on the classic Professional Gear Slim pens, often known as the Sapporo, with flattened ends for a more modern style.

Cap band is inscribed with 'Sailor Japan Founded 1911'. 14k gold nib.

Supplied in a smart gift box with a converter, so you can use bottled ink. Also takes Sailor ink cartridges.
