Sailor 1911 Large Fountain Pen Ninja Yuubi Maki-e Oshiro 21K Nib

Named after the company's founding year, the 1911 range was made to maintain the standards of quality and craftsmanship that had made Sailor so well respected from their beginnings. The rounded ends give the 1911 a more classic 'cigar' shape than the Pro Gear range, for those who prefer a more traditional look.

Ninja were prominent from the Muromachi period to the Edo period in Japan, they were employed by warring feudal lords and given missions involving participating in night raids, sabotage and assassination. However, their most important missions were gathering intelligence and relaying information back to their allies. More often than not, they carried weapons but in contrast to their Hollywood counterparts, they were supposed to stay hidden and gather intelligence rather than using their impeccable gymnastics skills to slay hordes of the enemy. Regardless, they were crucial to warfare tactics in their time.
