Sailor Maki-e Hagi-Bush Clover
I frequently find that the more modest the subject matter of a Japanese Maki-e pen, the more graphically interesting it becomes.
The Hagi/Flowers, Bush Clover proves this rule.
This simple motif animates this pen. The blades of grass, leaves and fronds intertwine in an engaging composition.

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

Even the artist's signature at left conveys the exuberant expression of this piece.

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.

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 Music, offering the writer an expressive tool.)

Retail price: $475.00

"Dear Pat and John,
My pen was delivered yesterday, as scheduled. The design and workmanship are impressive and this is a beautiful pen. Just as importantly the nib is exactly what I was hoping it would be; it writes beautifully, and seems to be set up perfectly for my personal style of writing. Thanks for your effort. It's a pleasure dealing with someone who takes the time to do it right.
Bill Leckemby" (4/13/06)
