Sailor Pro Gear Slim Fountain Pen - Nadeshiko
Shikiori Sansui is a collection of writing instruments that evoke the essence of Japan's diverse and breathtaking seasons. The name "SANSUI" itself pays homage to the great vitality of flora and fauna, which tenaciously thrive in the wild.

Customer Reviews
From the photos, I thought this was a beautiful pink, but IRL it is definitely purple / lilac. I know that you have to take online photos with a grain of salt, but I was disappointed because I chose it for the color that I thought it was. I'll keep it, though, because it is still a beautiful pen and writes really well.
