Pillow Book – a collection of widely read Japanese essays written during the early 1000s – is the theme of this series from the Sailor Pen Company. Various subjects were touched in this collection of poems and anecdotes, however one that was frequently mentioned are the four seasons.
Introducing the third in Sailor's annual release of the Pillow Book series – the Professional Gear Winter Sky. This special edition pen captures the feel of a fresh winter’s morning with the gentlest of lilac colors set against frosty, white gold accents.

The cap screws to open/close and can push to post onto the back of the barrel when writing. The flat top cap features the Sailor anchor logo inset into the top finial.
