Sailor PG Slim Vega Dark Blue Japanese Fairy Tales Fountain Pen
Sailor dedicates this edition of the Japanese Fairy Tales series to the legendary Princess Vega, capturing the deep blue of the night sky and the romance of Tanabata in every detail. With a 14 k gold MF nib and dark-blue PMMA resin body, this pen marries craftsmanship and poetry in each stroke.
The Tanabata Festival tells the story of Orihime (the weaver), represented by the star Vega, and Hikoboshi (the cowherd), separated by the Milky Way and allowed to meet only on the seventh day of the seventh month, when magpies form a bridge of feathers to reunite them.
Series Concept
The Japanese Fairy Tales series springs from a fascination with age-old legends passed down through generations. Each model reinterprets a timeless narrative through color and texture, evoking dreamlike landscapes and the cycle of seasons—from silent winter snowfall to spring’s first blossoms.
“Once upon a time, in a land far away…” When imagining a fairy-tale realm, we sense seasonal shifts that frame the meeting and parting of its characters.
“Only on Tanabata can the moon princess and her earthly love unite. The Milky Way, ever watchful, guides the magpies’ bridge to bring them together.” This pen reflects that magical moment with a shimmering violet-blue finish.
Ink Recommendations
To enhance the enchanted atmosphere, choose pink inks reminiscent of cherry blossoms: try Sakuramori Shikiori Sailor or the elegant Nagasawa Kobe 30 Oji Cherry.
