Each piece develops its own unique combination of brown, caramel, and deep smoky tones, with natural variations in grain and color that give the pen a strong sense of age and character.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe highlight of this pen is its \u003cstrong\u003eCross Emperor nib\u003c\/strong\u003e, one of Sailor’s most remarkable specialty nib designs.

As Susutake is a natural and aged material, additional surface variation, color differences, and signs of age may also be present.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe combination of naturally aged Susutake bamboo and the sophisticated Cross Emperor nib gives this pen a unique balance of traditional material, technical complexity, and collectibility. Due to its age and condition, it is especially recommended for collectors or experienced users who are comfortable with vintage pens and naturally aged materials.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sailor","offers":[{"title":"Cross Emperor","offer_id":40981119271041,"sku":null,"price":5000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/2960\/5761\/files\/F636C4CF-15BB-4489-998C-1C2AEB3E30D0.png?v=1792156049","url":"https:\/\/izumipen.com\/products\/sailor-susutake-fountain-pen-with-cross-emperor-nib","provider":"IZUMIPEN LIMITED","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
