About 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.

Well Behaved Blue Black

This ink plays really well with almost every paper I have tried it on, highly recommend to anyone who wants a reliable, wet ink for use at work. I use this a lot in my vanishing point with a fine nib and it writes on everything I've thrown at it. If I had to say anything critical, it would be that there is not a lot of shading with this ink, but shading is not what it was intended for.

If you are looking for something that is reliable, looks professional, and writes on any quality paper this is the ink. This was my first ink from Yoseka and I am happy to say I came back for more.
