A very special Maki-e pen from noted artist Ikki Moroike, the King of Pen Sekigahara Limited Edition is the first of four Samurai Warrior pens that will be released by Sailor, and is expected to arrive in October 2019. Part of Sailor's exclusive Bespoke Collection, it is being produced in just 28 numbered pieces worldwide.

 

The pen body is hand-turned from natural ebonite hard rubber, and is hand-finished in specialized Maki-e technique utilizing a variety of precious materials, including gold and silver powders and raden. A matching presentation box with complementary motif is also included.

 

We can now accept just a very limited number of pre-orders for the Sekigahara - you will not be charged until your pen arrives here and is ready to ship to you. Part of Sailor's exclusive Bespoke Collection, the price is $7600.

Dear god that's gorgeous.

 

I swear there are basically two reasons driving me towards med school these days

 

1.) Not having to follow through on the promise to my mom that if I didn't get in, I'd have to sell my race car.

 

2.) buying Maki-e pens. I wish I could afford one now, but I can be patient.

Surgeons are the jocks of medicine.

 

I'm aiming for ER physician. Logical next (big) step for a paramedic, and I can still command the same money as most surgeons.

 

But I'm probably not going to be a very wealthy doc. I want to push programs for doctors to be in the field on specialty trauma ambulances and helicopters. The NHS does it in the UK, and air-evac physicians can do insane field interventions. I'm all about that. But It's not going to be the 500k-1M a year that being an attending at a trauma hospital would pull in

As nice as the colours of this pens are, glorifying a war is generally not good.

It looks like Sailor is coming out with additional Samurai-themed pens. Judging by the sheer number of gunpowder weapons in Japan from Sekigahara onwards, I don't think they were as concerned with honor as we think they were :P

I mean.... The battle was more than 500 years ago. It's not like we're really glorifying war more than a historical event.

 

Now, a maki-e pen about the somme might be a biiiiiit weird.

So what? It is still not something to be proud of. And Samurai apparently required that normal people moved out of the streets if they were coming. You want to be proud of such kind of people?

No, thank you.

It's like saying that we shouldn't glorify the battle of thermopyle (spelling?) because the spartans kept slaves and were generally kinda jerks.

 

It was so long ago, humankind was barely recognizable to what it is today. There's no glorifying something that doesn't, and cannot exist anymore, and the descendants of those affected are waaaaaaaaaaaaaay dead.

 

still, different strokes. I don't glorify the landings of normandy, but I do find them fascinating and the sacrifices of those involved commendable. I am very interested in history and artwork, and war was a part of history. You can partake in art and history without condoning it.

 

The crusades were really a messed up historical footnote, but that doesn't inherently invalidate all of its art and history. We can still appreciate those things as long as we also understand what was not good about it. This pen isn't trying to whitewash the rape of nanking.

 

Sorry, that got a little dark. You're perfectly entitled to dislike it for any reasons you see fit, and there is nothing wrong with that whatsoever.

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
