About Nagasawa:

Nagasawa Bungu Center, also known as Nagasawa Kobe, was founded as a local stationery store in 1882 and seeks to share the beauty of Kobe with stationery lovers around the world. Their original inks and pens are developed closely with Sailor to ensure the quality you expect from Sailor.

Sailor was founded in 1911. The founder Kyugoro Sakata was given a fountain pen by a friend returning from the UK after studying at the Royal Navy. He was inspired and determined to start making fountain pens in Japan. Sailor became the first fountain pen company in Japan, and earned many more firsts in Japan -- first ballpoint pen in 1948, first ink cartridge in 1954 and first brush pen in 1972, etc.

In the 1970's, Sailor made a popular beginner fountain pen, "Candy," that sold more than 15 million within a few years. However, the number of the fountain pen users were declining as ballpoint pens became more mainstream.

In 1981, Sailor decided to go in the opposite direction from their "Candy" pen and began focusing on producing a higher standard series, which is the 1911 series we see today. Their focus on making a higher standard provides a great foundation for their later series of pens. Today, Sailor makes one of the most diverse lines of nibs, some of which are designed for specific writing purposes such as writing musical notes to one that is best for character writing.

The 1911 offers a great balance and a smooth writing experience. The pen writes with a slight but satisfying feedback and it fits perfectly in the hand.

Elegance and Precision: Where Out-of-the-Box Thinking and Writing Excellence Converge

As a technology research scientist, writing is an integral part of my daily life. Whether it’s note-taking, conceptualizing, or thinking outside the box, the connection between my hand and brain plays a vital role in my creative and analytical processes. The Nagasawa Original 1911 Large Realo FL - Black/Gold Hard Extra Fine Nib 21K Gold has elevated this experience to an entirely new level.

From the moment I picked it up, I was captivated by its exceptional craftsmanship. The nib glides effortlessly over my Kobeha Graphilo Notebook - A5 - Grid with Nagasawa Kobe Ink No.2 Hatoba Wharf Blue (also purchased from Yoseka Stationery), delivering a smooth, almost magical writing experience that I genuinely look forward to every day.

This pen doesn’t just write - it inspires. It has become an indispensable tool in my workflow, sparking creativity and enhancing productivity. If you’re searching for a fountain pen that seamlessly combines elegance, precision, and unparalleled writing pleasure, the Nagasawa Original 1911 Large Realo FL is an absolute must-have. I highly recommend it to anyone who truly values the art of writing!
