The Japanese Sailor Pen Company was founded in Hiroshima in 1911 after engineer Kyugoro Sakata was introduced to the fountain pen by a British sailor. Inspired by this experience, Mr. Sakata decided to start producing fountain pens, which led to the creation of the Sailor brand.
Nearly a century later, the Sailor Pen Company remains true to its mission of creating some of the most refined, elegant and highest quality fountain pens in the world.
