Sailor 1911 Casual Shikiori Kusa Asobi Tsurubami GT Fountain Pen (Special Edition)

Sailor 1911 Casual Shikiori Kusa Asobi Tsurubami GT Fountain Pen (Special Edition)

• Tsurubami (meaning “autumn brown” or the color of browned foliage and acorns) draws its mood from the rustling carpets beneath oak and maple trees, the gentle crunch beneath footsteps, and the golden glow of autumn light. 

• Part of Sailor’s Shikiori “Kusa Asobi” series (“playing in the grass”), this edition emphasizes nature nostalgia — embracing seasonal colors and textures with quiet elegance. 

Visual & Material Details

• The body, cap, and grip section are fashioned from PMMA resin, which allows for saturated, warm brown tones with a slight sheen that reflects autumn’s softness. 

• The trim — clip, cap?bands, decorative rings — are finished in Gold IP (ion plating), creating a harmonious contrast with the bronzed body and enhancing the richness of the autumnal palette. 

• The cap is a screw?type closure, preserving the traditional, reliable feel of a classic fountain pen. 

Function & Writing Performance

• Equipped with a stainless?steel nib with gold IP plating. The nib is “Fine” (F) as standard in this series. 

• Filling system: compatible with Sailor cartridges, or a converter (not always included) for bottled ink users. 

• Size & Weight: approx φ 17 mm × 134 mm (including clip), weight about 12.2 g — a comfortable balance for daily use, long sessions and portability. 

Sensation & Emotional Appeal

• Holding the Tsurubami feels like carrying a piece of autumn in your hand — the brown hues evoke memories of crisp afternoons, oak acorns gathering in your palm, and soft light filtering through early evening haze.

• The warm gold accents mirror the setting sun’s glow on leaves, giving the pen a vintage, comforting elegance without being overwrought.

• The fine nib invites precision, introspection; it’s less about bold swaths, more about delicate, careful lines — thoughtful letters, poems, journal entries in soft browns, sepias, or muted gold inks.

Presentation & Collector Value

• As a special edition in the Kusa Asobi lineup, Tsurubami is one of four color?variants (alongside Hanakanmuri, Sasabune, Yuki Usagi) in the stainless?steel nib Shikiori series. 

• Comes packaged in Sailor’s gift box, making it a fine choice for gifting or adding to any pen collection.

• Limited nature of production — autumnal color scheme tends to resonate with collectors who appreciate seasonal themes, making each pen more than just a writing instrument.
