Susutake

“Susutake” (Smoked Bamboo) is a special type of bamboo obtained from the roof timbers from old traditional Japanese thatched-roof style houses, which were built more than 100 years ago. The surface of the bamboo is naturally coloured to a deep red brown color from continuous exposure to the smoke of the ‘Irori’ (a traditional Japanese sunken fire/hearth). Susutake is a highly treasured material, which is becoming increasingly rare and difficult to obtain. ”Susutake” is fitted exclusively with the Nagahara nibs.

The Arita

 

Arita Porcelain has a history in Japan of 400 years – it was made traditionally as tributes to the Shogun and the feudal lords. Arita was the birthplace of Japanese porcelain having the perfect white kaolin stone. In the early 17th Century Ri sam pie, the ‘father of Arita porcelain’ discovered this special area at the mountain of Izumiyama. Porcelain production at Arita flourished during the Edo period and it was extensively exported from Nagasaki where it gained great appreciation worldwide as Imari porcelain that was revered by the Royal courts and nobility of the time. The high skill levels of the Arita artisans helped the porcelain to be traded throughout Europe. Both the hand made Gen-emon kiln and the Koransha styles inherit the tradition and soul of the ancient Imari porcelain that has been passed down through many generations.

Sailor Pen has combined their exceptional pen making skills with the Arita porcelain crafts to collaborate on this very special project. The exceptional skills of the various craftsmen involved have perfected the Gold/Porcelain high technology bonding techniques to produce the masterpieces we see offered today.

Fitted with the Sailor 21K nib for writing precision this product not only looks and feels unique but also writes perfectly.

Two model ranges are available – The Gen-emon Kiln and the Koransha series with three pieces in each collection.

 The landscape, flowers or traditional artisan decoration depicting typical Japanese ceramic style inspires all the designs.

The ‘Gen –emon Kiln’ models are special hand painted designs and produced and ‘fired’ in the famous  ‘Gen –emon’ kiln
The ‘Koransha’ models are more simple designs and
produced and ‘fired’ in the famous ‘Koransha’ style.
