Description
Japan's oldest surviving folk tale begins with a bamboo cutter who finds a tiny, glowing girl inside a stalk of bamboo. She grows into the radiant Princess Kaguya, turns down every suitor who comes calling, and finally returns to her true home on the moon. The Sailor Shikiori Japanese Fairy Tale Princess Kaguya ball pen honours her with a vivid red resin barrel and gold plated trim.
Why this pen stands out
Red and gold is regal and warm, a fitting colour for a princess. It's a pen that catches the eye in the best way, and it makes a meaningful talking point whenever someone asks where it's from. As a Japanese luxury ball pen with a story attached, it's far more personal than a generic executive pen.
How it feels to use
Pick it up and you'll notice the weight first. At 29g, it's one of the more substantial ball pens in Sailor's Shikiori line-up, and that heft makes signatures and handwriting feel controlled and deliberate. It measures 133mm with a 12mm barrel. A twist opens it; another twist closes it. No cap, no click.
Ideas for gifting
- A daughter's graduation or first job
- Birthdays for anyone who loves Japanese stories, anime or folklore
- A treat for yourself if you journal, plan or write letters
