With its vivid red backdrop of delicate cherry blossoms, the Sailor Petite Cherry Blossoms Koshu Inden fountain pen takes a time-honored Japanese craft to new heights. These pens are being produced in very small numbers, and are expected to be in high demand - vintage leather pens produced in Japan and elsewhere have long been highly collectible.
 
Koshu Inden is a much-honored Japanese leather craft where artists use Urushi lacquer to paint designs over deer skin. Here, artist Makoto Yamamoto's design places small cherry blossoms on the leather.

A stunning and quirky pen, sure to turn heads. Very rare to find in the UK.
