Announcing the arrival of the third installment in the Sailor Manyo Pen series. This latest release has been crafted to celebrate the 5th anniversary of the Manyo ink collection. This series stands out not only for its design and quality but also because it is not available in Japan, making it a truly unique offering for North America consumers.

Each pen in this limited-edition series is a work of art, featuring exquisite foil embossing on the top finial, rendered in a stunning rainbow foil.

Inspired by the smooth, green-yellow tones of a ripened gourd, this Gourd pen is bright and inviting. It comes with a 50ml bottle of Manyo Sumomo, a light red ink inspired by the sumomo flower which blooms earlier than cherry blossoms, signaling an early arrival of spring.

This Sailor Pro Gear Slim fountain pen features a translucent olive green cap, grip section, and barrel finial, complemented by an opaque red barrel and top finial. It is completed by gold-plated trim, and the top finial features a gourd

The pen is equipped with a 14k yellow gold nib in fine, medium fine, or medium. The cap screws to open/close and can push to post onto the back of the barrel when writing. The Professional Gear Slim fountain pen comes with a Sailor proprietary converter. It also can accept proprietary Sailor ink cartridges.

Love this writing instrument

This pen is beautiful. Aesthetically, the pimento and olive color reminds me of a martini more than a gourd. What a lovely combination of color and style. It fits my hand perfectly (mine are medium/large female hands) and I love the shape and handling. I was most curious about the nib, as I had read a lot about the notorious Sailor feedback. The nib feels smooth with just the slightest resistance as you write, which (as many have said) does give you a bit more writing control. Mine is a medium nib; I would like it a tad better if it were a tiny bit smaller, but I'm learning to like the boldness from a medium. I have a slight preference for snap cap pens as opposed to screw-on caps because I take meeting notes with it and those are easier to recap between notes, but I can live with that just to enjoy the style and character of this beauty.

Terrific pen, awesome service!

This pen is a beauty and writes like a dream! Had an issue with the nib out of box and Goulet really worked with me. Kay, in particular, handled the exchange and tested the replacement. It’s incredible! I love this pen. Loaded it with Noodler's Sequoia Green and it’s smooth and rich. This will be a favorite- thank you Kay and Goulet!

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I fill this fountain pen from an ink cartridge? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

A cartridge is small, disposable, sealed plastic reservoir that holds fountain pen ink. These come pre-filled with ink, and typically you just push to insert them into place and you'll be ready to write!

This pen uses proprietary Sailor ink cartridges, which are available in a wide range of colors.

You can learn more about how to actually install an ink cartridge on our blog, or in this video tutorial:

How do I use a converter? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

A converter goes in the place of where the ink cartridge would normally go. From there, you can fill your fountain pen from bottled ink.

A converter is a detachable and refillable ink reservoir that allows you to use bottled ink in a cartridge-accepting pen. Typically you will install the converter into the grip section, dip the nib/feed into the ink, and twist or pull the converter knob to draw ink into the converter.

We have a great video showing how to use a converter here:

How do I clean this fountain pen? 8EDA1617-F73A-4DAF-8245-6D2BF4ABEB7B

It mostly comes down to flushing out the pen with water, and sometimes a little bit of pen flush if the ink is really stuck. 

We put together a blog post with step-by-step instructions, or you can watch the video here:

We recommend a good cleaning every 2 weeks, and any time you change ink colors. Water will usually do the trick, but we recommend you use our Goulet Pen Flush if the ink has been left in the pen for a while and could have dried up, or when you’re switching ink colors.

For even more information about fountain pen cleaning, check out our Fountain Pen 101 video blog post.
