Sailor Nawate Kuroginpaku Sei is made of ebony wood and hand-coated with Urushi Aizu-nuri lacquer and covered with silver leaf. A fountain pen that offers subtle contrasts between light and dark.
The Sailor Nawate Kuroginpaku Sei is a fountain pen that speaks softly, yet profoundly. An object that does not seek immediate effect, but rather a restrained beauty, made of subtle contrasts and light that slowly emerges from the darkness.
The body is made of ebony wood, hand-coated with Aizu-nuri Urushi lacquer in an intense, compact, almost absolute black tone. On this deep surface, the silver leaves (ginpaku) emerge, integrated into the lacquer using a technique that makes them part of the very material, not just simple decoration. The result is a cold and controlled reflection, never overtly shiny, but always present for those who know how to observe.
Kuroginpaku means just this: silver in black.
A refined balance that recalls the Japanese aesthetic of the unsaid, where light does not dominate but accompanies.
The cap features the Nawate workmanship, a subtle vertical groove that marks the surface and improves grip. A functional detail that becomes a graphic sign, maintaining a sober line consistent with the whole.
At the center, the heart of writing: the nib made of solid 21 karat gold signed by Sailor. Precise, sensitive, capable of providing an authentic contact with the paper. A controlled, expressive writing, designed for those who love to feel the gesture and not just see the result.
The Nawate Kuroginpaku Sei is a pen for those who choose the essential, for those who love objects that age with dignity and tell something only to those who truly use them.
Not an ornament, but a presence.
From Lazzaroni, jewels for writing, it is a fountain pen that transforms silence into word.
