SAILOR Fountain Pen Prime Minister's Special Appreciation Gift Raden Maki-e

Order via Japan Rabbit

This rare Sailor fountain pen was created as a Japanese Prime Minister Special Commendation Gift, making it a prized find that was never available in retail stores. Decorated with the delicate Sakura Nagare design, it showcases traditional Japanese craftsmanship through detailed makie lacquerwork and luminous raden mother-of-pearl inlays. At its heart is Sailor's signature 21K gold nib, offering a refined writing experience.

Sailor Pen Co. is celebrated globally for its fine nib crafting and artistic fountain pens. Government commendation gifts like this one are especially sought after by collectors for their rarity, cultural significance, and high level of detail. The pen comes presented inside its original wooden paulownia box.

As an item kept in long-term storage, it shows minor scratches, dirt, and age-related rubbing on the outer box. There are visible ink spill marks, and the spare ink supply is approximately 80 percent full. The personal presentation card has been removed, as it bears a previous owner's name.
