Sailor

Sailor Pen Company is a Japanese pen manufacturer that was founded in Hiroshima in 1911. The company was originally named the "Sailor Pen-Pencil Co., Ltd." and focused on producing high-quality fountain pens for the Japanese market. Sailor is known for its dedication to traditional craftsmanship and attention to detail in the manufacturing process.

The company employs skilled artisans who create the nibs and other components of the pens by hand, using traditional techniques that have been passed down through generations. Sailor's fountain pens are highly regarded among pen enthusiasts for their smooth writing performance and the variety of nib options available. The company also produces ballpoint pens, rollerball pens, and mechanical pencils.

One of Sailor's most popular products is the "1911" series of fountain pens, which was first introduced in 1981 to commemorate the company's 70th anniversary. The "1911" features a classic design and a wide range of nib sizes and materials to suit different writing styles. Sailor has also collaborated with other companies and designers to create unique and limited-edition pens, including a partnership with the luxury car manufacturer Bentley.
