Sailor Hannya Shinkyo Fountain Pen
Heart Sutra

This unique 925 sterling and 24K gold plated pen is number 4 of only 200 pieces made, but to understand its place in Sailor's line of pens, it helps to know a little about Buddhism in Asia.
Hannya shinkyo is one of the main doctrines of Buddhism.

The original text of Hannya shinkyo was written in Tibetan Sanskrit, then translated into Chinese, and then made its way into Japanese: Hannya shinkyo, whose precepts are condensed into the Heart Sutra. The pen cap and barrel are inscribed with the 266 Sanskrit characters of the Heart Sutra.

We have another example of the Heart Sutra inscribed on a Nakaya fountain pen. Click here: Nakaya Hannya Sinko

The hand-crafted nib is designed by Nobuyoshi Nagahara, Sailor's renowned nib designer. For this pen, he revived the Naginata Togi, or "long sword," technique to create a considerably longer nib than appears in regular sized nibs. The nib was specially designed to write Kanji, so it allows a broad range of writing angles with light pressure.
Nobuyoshi Nagahara has created one of the most unique nibs of his career. With this pen you will be writing with a unique Sailor nib created and handmade personally by Mr. Nagahara.
The Hannya shinkyo weighs just under 51 grams, and measures 5.5 inches capped.

This is limited edition number 4 of 200 pieces made for worldwide sale. The pen comes in a blue velour lined wooden box-- a truly special presentation.
