Sailor Maki-e
Butterfly
Fountain Pen
The butterfly is an uplifting insect. How many of us can see butterflies without being moved by
their delicacy and grace.

The repetition of the winged shape gives a sense of movement that we can all recognize. What other creature can flit into our consciousness and make us aware of the fugitive nature of existence. By creating a simple design Sailor has made the most of this motif.



The pen is the same size and has the same converter/cartridge filling mechanism as the 1911. It comes in a small softwood box with two extra cartridges and all the papers.


Even the artist's signature conveys the fleeting exuberance of this fountain pen.

Notice the many material surfaces, from simple fine gold flake lines to coarse amber and shiny gold leaves to imbedded reflective pieces of abalone.

We have the full range of available Sailor 21K nibs: EF, F, MF, M, B, Zoom and Music. (The nib at left is the Sailor Broad, offering the writer an expressive tool.)The Music nib is similar to a stub nib with considerable line width variation.

Our price: $300.00
We are an authorized Sailor dealer. This is a great price on this pen.
