The "Yaezakura" fountain pen is a stunning representation of the vibrant Yaezakura cherry blossoms found along the Ginza Sakura Street adjacent to Ancora. This special writing instrument brings together the beloved Professional Gear body with a meticulously crafted stainless steel nib that mimics the luxurious feel of gold nibs, offering an exquisite writing experience. The nib is finished by hand to enhance its smoothness, providing a writing experience that is both refined and enjoyable.
The design of the pen's body features a vivid illustration of cherry blossoms, accentuated with traditional maki-e techniques, while the cap is sprinkled with delicate glitter that adds to its charm. The choice of a white cap color complements the design, allowing the translucent clear pink nib to shine through, providing a soft touch of sakura color that beautifully evokes the spirit of spring.
In addition to its aesthetic appeal, the "Yaezakura" offers varying nib widths to suit different writing preferences—available in Fine (F), Medium-Fine (MF), and Medium (M). Priced at ¥22,880 (approximately $205) before tax, this pen is limited to one per person, ensuring exclusivity for all collectors and writing enthusiasts.
