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. In this Tsukuyo-no-Minamo ('Moonlit Water') series, each season is seen through reflections on the water's surface. The white finial at the end of the cap represents the moon, following the evening/night theme of this series.

Based on the beautiful ProColor pens, the simple curves of the barrel and elegant trim highlight the cap and barrel finishes perfectly. As you'd expect from Sailor, the pen is made to the highest standards.

Twist-action retractable ballpoint, 0.7mm tip.

Yozakura - moonlit cherry blossom. The symbol of spring in Japan, cherry blossom is representative not only of the spring in general, but of the impermanent nature of all things. Here, the slight sparkle in the finish represents moonlit cherry blossom, as it is washed away in a stream of freshly melted snow.
