    The King of Pens (KOP) is introduced as the top of the range, developed as the symbol of Sailor’s technology, quality and writing perfection gained with the experience of over 100 years. Special attention has been given to the oversized 21K solid gold nib (the life and soul of the fountain pen), which provides top writing quality. 

    Sailor King of Pens Iro-Miyabi combines the traditional Japanese Iro (color) with the elegant and beautiful Miyabi (grace) with colored lacquer.

    Chitose-Midori Is a symbolic color representing "Permanency" and "Perennial youth and long life".

    Traditional lacquer art

    The lacquering was developed in the Nara and Heian era as a symbol of wealth among the aristocracy and as a symbol of gods and Buddha.

    Kaga-nuri

    "Kaga-nuri" (also called "Yamanaka-nuri") is a traditional craft which originated in Kaga city, Ishikawa. In the Edo era, Kaga-nuri was used for tableware or furniture on which beautiful Urushi and Maki-e designs were applied.

    Lacquering technique "Ishime-nuri"

    This traditional technique enables the surface of the lacquer to be roughened to represent the appearance of stones. It takes months for the lacquer to dry. It is then repeatedly coated with other different kind of lacquer to create a masterpiece made with much care.

    All the nibs of the King of Pens are made of 21 carat gold, which gives them a very smooth feel on paper. The 21 carat gold, but also the polishing of the tip of the nib in iridium which protects the gold, make this large nib an exceptional piece in the world of gold nibs. In this size of large gold nibs for large pens, the fine size and sizes below do not exist: the length of the nib would make a FINE (or even extra-fine) nib too fragile.

    In general, Japanese nib sizes are always narrower than European standards.

    KOP The King of Pens
    10-1584-430

    In 1911 Mr. Sakata and his brother founded the “Sakata-Manufactory” to produce solid gold nibs.

    In 1917 the factory relocated to the next town Hamadacho and the Company changed the name to “Sailor Pen Sakata-Manufactory Co., Ltd.” The Company started manufacturing fountain pens here in volumes.

    The Company reached a turning point on 27th May 1926 when Imperial Prince Hirohito (Prince Regent, later Emperor Showa) visited the factory to encourage the industry. This was a great honour for a small company with 300 employees established only 15 years previously.

    Taking this opportunity, The SAILOR Pen Company aquired significant credibility and notoriety nationwide.
