Sailor Maki-e
The Koi

According to Japanese folklore, the Japanese Koi is a fish that symbolizes power, strength, courage and passion.

Looking at the Koi's eye, you can see that Sailor used the“Raden”Maki-e technique. “Raden” is the delicate application of fine shavings of abalone shell into the lacquer surface.


Of course the artisan signs each piece. The pen is the same size as the 1911. We have the full range of available Sailor nibs: EF, F, M, B, Zoom and Music.


Our price $970
