Brand History & Philosophy
Since Kyugoro Sakata founded Sailor in 1911 in Hiroshima, the brand has exemplified dedication to detail and passion for writing. Early years focused on perfecting gold nibs and ebonite bodies through artisanal polishing and engraving techniques. Even during adversities such as World War II, Sailor maintained production, demonstrating an unwavering commitment to excellence.
In subsequent decades, Sailor introduced innovative materials like PMMA resin and developed 14K nibs that redefined writing experiences. The iconic “Naginata” nib allowed unique line variations by changing writing angle, revolutionizing modern calligraphy. The 1911 series continues enhancing ergonomics and balance for writers who spend hours capturing ideas.
Today, Sailor is globally recognized by collectors and professionals. Limited editions featuring Maki-e lacquers and ebonite reliefs reflect the brand’s meticulous craftsmanship, while professional lines with exceptional nibs combine elegance and functionality.
