Sailor & Platinum — The Art of Japanese Writing
For more than a century, Sailor and Platinum have represented the art of Japanese fountain pen craftsmanship. Rooted in precision, patience and an uncompromising attention to detail, each pen reflects a uniquely Japanese approach to the relationship between object, hand and paper.
Founded in the early 20th century, both houses have devoted generations to refining the fountain pen — from the shaping and tuning of their renowned gold nibs to the balance, weight and tactile character of each instrument.
A Sailor or Platinum fountain pen is more than a writing tool. It is an object to be appreciated, used and passed on — a considered expression of Japanese craftsmanship, simplicity and enduring beauty.
At Setamono, we celebrate these pens as part of a wider Japanese philosophy of everyday objects: beautifully made things that bring greater meaning and pleasure to the rituals of daily life.
