Sailor Taki to Shizen — Firefly Maki-e Fountain Pen
On a still Japanese summer night, fireflies drift through the darkness in pulses of soft gold light. The Sailor Taki to Shizen Firefly captures that fleeting, poetic moment in maki-e lacquer — and does so for just 28 individually numbered collectors worldwide.
Maki-e Design
The ebonite body is finished in deep, dark urushi lacquer — the perfect evocation of a summer night. Across its surface, fireflies drift among plants in traditional maki-e artwork, their tiny golden lights glowing with a luminosity that seems almost alive against the dark ground. The contrast is intimate and quietly breathtaking: the silence of the night, the warmth of those small moving lights.
Exceptional Rarity
Limited to just 28 pieces worldwide, each individually numbered, the Taki to Shizen Firefly is among the most exclusive editions Sailor has produced. At this level of scarcity, every piece is both a writing instrument and a document of a specific moment in the craft.
