From Sailor Fountain Pen, a fountain pen with the motif of the masterpiece of Ukiyo-e artist Utagawa Hiroshige of the Edo period, “Long Sword Sharpening Ebonite Fountain Pen Umesaki” will be released.

Equipped with a super-large 21-karat gold longsword sharpening nib, the “Umesaki” has a heavy ebonite fountain pen with flyer work on layered ebonite wood. This product is the seventh in a series that uses colored ebonite wood with a motif of Japan paintings, and this time the motif is “Famous Edo 100 Views Kameido Umeya Store” by Utagawa Hiroshige.

The world view of the beautiful Kameido Umeya store, which has been evaluated by the world, such as copying Vincent van Gogh, is incorporated into ebonite wood.

Utagawa Hiroshige and “Famous Edo 100 Views Kameido Umeya Shop”

“Kameido Umeyapo” was once a plum garden behind Kameido Ten Shrine, and it became famous for its plum tree called “Garyubai”, which looked like a dragon lying on the ground, and was very popular as a spring vacation spot, with the 8th shogun Tokugawa Yoshimune visiting. You can see it from the spectators who can see it on the other side of the shelf. The composition is Hiroshige’s preference for taking large photos and looking into the distance, and the texture of the old wood is wonderfully expressed by layering several colors.

The plum blossoms are the leader of a hundred flowers, and the state of the plum blossoms blooming at the Kameido Umeya shop, which was the first to make me feel spring, is expressed using flyer evonite technology. The stately plum tree is expressed in gray and black ebonite, and the blooming plum blossoms are expressed in the base pink color and the white of the flyer.

In addition, as a special specification with a serial number engraved on it, it is a limited gem that does not have two identical items in the world. You will enjoy the beautiful feel of ebonite wood that fits well in your hand and the smooth writing feel of the one-of-a-kind long knife sharpened pen tip.

The “Long Sword Sharpening Ebonite Fountain Pen Umesaki” will be released in a limited edition of 500 pieces worldwide (250 in Japan and 250 overseas) from October 18, 2025.
