Sailor Shikiori 20 Colours Brush Pen Set
The Sailor Shikiori 20 Colours Brush Pen Set brings together twenty of the most representative colours from Sailor's Shikiori collection in a practical dual-tip marker format. Inspired by Japan's four seasons, these colours allow users to enjoy the same chromatic philosophy found in the Shikiori inks through an instrument ideal for creative writing, illustration, brush lettering, calligraphy, and journaling.
The Shikiori Collection
The Shikiori collection was created from Japan's deep connection with the changing seasons. Each colour represents a landscape, flower, weather phenomenon, or emotion associated with a specific moment of the year. Sailor has translated this seasonal sensitivity into a range of inks and markers that allow users to express the beauty of Japanese nature through colour.
The twenty colours included in this set represent scenes inspired by spring, summer, autumn, and winter, providing a wide palette for writing, sketching, and creative projects.
Shikiori Colours in Marker Form
These markers allow you to enjoy the same characteristic colours found in Sailor Shikiori inks in a versatile and convenient format. Each marker incorporates two different tips, greatly expanding its creative possibilities.
The flexible brush tip is ideal for expressive strokes, brush lettering, illustration, and modern calligraphy, while the fine tip provides excellent control for writing, detailing, note-taking, and precise line work.
Their ergonomic design offers a comfortable grip and excellent handling during extended use.
