Sailor Pens Introduces Unique Collection Inspired by Earth's Oceans

In an exciting collaboration, Sailor Pen, led by CEO Mitsu Tamura and headquartered in Minato, Tokyo, announces the launch of limited-edition fountain pens and bottled inks in collaboration with the Satellite Crayon Project. Set to debut on June 21, 2025, these products showcase the mesmerizing colors of the oceans, as seen from space. A portion of the sales will be donated to GSHIP, a governmental and private partnership platform, aimed at tackling marine plastic pollution in Hiroshima Prefecture.

The Unique Ocean Fountain Pen Series

The newly launched series includes the "Ocean Fountain Pen" and "Bottled Ink for Fountain Pens", both of which feature hues derived from the Satellite Crayon Project's comprehensive examination of ocean colors. The project captures the vibrant colors of the sea as photographed from satellites, with the aim of sparking interest in Earth’s beauty.

Three specific colors will be showcased:

• - Eleuthera Island: Inspired by the breathtaking blue waters off the western coast of Eleuthera Island in the Bahamas.
• - Amami Oshima: Mirrors the deep, rich blue of Japan’s Amami Oshima waters.
• - Syvash: Represents the shallow, muddy waters of the Syvash, a uniquely polluted bay at the northern edge of the Black Sea.

Each pen serves as a canvas to narrate the story behind these oceanic colors, making every writing experience an exploration of both art and nature.

What is the Satellite Crayon Project?

Launched in 2022 by the largest satellite communication company in Japan, Sky Perfect JSAT Corporation, the Satellite Crayon Project has received numerous accolades, including awards from the world's top design competitions. Its unique approach involves using geographic coordinates instead of traditional color names, allowing users to explore the colors of our planet based on satellite imagery—creating a fresh narrative around the very essence of color.

According to the project's website, they aspire to instill a love for nature and encourage awareness about our environment through the dimension of color, making their offerings not just products but a movement towards mindful engagement with our planet.

Sailor Pen's Commitment to the Environment

A portion of the profits from these ocean-themed writing instruments will be allocated to GSHIP, an initiative set up by the Hiroshima Prefecture to combat plastic pollution affecting the Seto Inland Sea. The organization’s goal is ambitious: to reduce the inflow of plastic waste into the sea to zero by 2050. By joining this cause, Sailor Pen strengthens its commitment to sustainability and environmental protection.

In addition to this collaboration, Sailor Pen has been actively involved in its own sustainability program, FOREStationery(R), which supports forest conservation efforts—a commitment to protect nature equitably in conjunction with their products. The initiative emphasizes the company's alignment with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to “protect the oceans” and “safeguard terrestrial ecosystems.”

An Exclusive Product Line with Stunning Packaging

The fountain pens come with an original packaging design that enhances their appeal. The exterior features a sophisticated wave-like foil design, while the intricate interior reflects the beauty of the ocean. Users can access a wealth of information about each ocean color along with high-quality, beautifully designed packaging that sets it apart from ordinary writing instruments.

As part of the launch, customers can explore a variety of products:

• - Ocean Fountain Pen: Pricing starts at 137,500 yen with options in various nib sizes including ultra-fine and broad.
• - Bottled Ink: Available in 20ml sizes for 2,200 yen, offering oceans' colors for fountain pen enthusiasts.
