Sailor 1911 Casual Shikiori Tsukuyono Minamo Yazakura GT Fountain Pen
The Sailor 1911 Casual Shikiori Tsukuyono Minamo Yazakura GT is part of Sailor’s Shikiori Tsukuyono Minamo collection, which draws inspiration from Japanese seasonal beauty—specifically the interplay of moonlight and water. “Tsukuyono Minamo” translates to “surface of water in the moonlight.” The Yazakura variant evokes cherry blossoms (sakura) under that moonlit water scene.
This pen combines tradition and beauty with practical everyday use. It belongs to the 1911 Casual line, which gives a more accessible / “everyday luxury” approach than some of Sailor’s higher?end lines.

-
Inspiration / Theme:
The collection is built around the imagery of moonlight reflecting on water (“moonlit nights”). Yazakura focuses on cherry blossoms visible in that atmospheric light. Sailor Pen+1 -
Colour & Appearance:
The pen has a light pink / cherry blossom?inflected body with shimmer. Under lighting, the surface shows subtle sparkle (i.e. the “minamo” or water?reflection effect). The trim is gold (GT style) which adds warmth and contrast. There is a sense of elegance and delicate beauty reminiscent of Japanese seasonal poetry. -
Shape & Grip:
The 1911 shape is the classic “cigar style” Sailor profile—comfortable to hold, well balanced, fairly slim but with enough girth to feel substantial. The Casual version tends to be slightly simpler than the Premium or Profit lines but retains good aesthetics. -
Nib Performance:
The steel Fine nib produces crisp, clean lines. Users seem to appreciate its performance for everyday writing. Japanese steel nibs tend to be finer/slimmer than many Western steel nibs. Some feedback (pleasant texture) is common in Sailor steel nibs, which some users like. -
Ink Options:
Because it uses cartridges or converter, you can change ink colours easily. With a pen with this kind of finish, matching ink colours (light pinks, soft reds, rose shades etc.) tend to look good. -
Suitability:
Great for everyday use, journaling, letter writing, note?taking. The delicate aesthetic makes it a good gift pen. Less suited for very heavy calligraphy (unless the nib is swapped) because the nib is steel and in Fine size; line width is limited.
| Pros | Possible Cons |
|---|---|
| Beautiful aesthetic inspired by nature; shimmer effect makes it attractive under light. | Fine nibs may feel very fine and slightly scratchy on certain papers. Typical for many Japanese steel Fine nibs. |
| Good value: decorative, well?made resin body with gold trim. | Shimmer / glitter might show dust or wear more visibly; maintaining the shine might need care. |
| Easy to maintain, ink changeable via converter / cartridges. | The steel nib is less exotic than gold nibs; may not have the same elasticity or prestige. |
| Lightweight (≈ 12.2 g) and comfortable to hold. | Some limited availability; special finishes are often limited edition or produced in small batches. |
-
Packaging: Comes in Sailor’s gift box.
-
Included Accessories: Usually a converter (or option to use cartridges), instructions. (Standard for Sailor)
-

Beyond basic specs, here are the stylistic and design features:
-
The Shikiori series is inspired by the four seasons in Japan, bringing natural scenery and subtle poetic aesthetics into the pen designs. The Tsukuyono Minamo line focuses on moonlight and reflections on water.
-
Yozakura (“night cherry blossoms”) is the pink / cherry-blossom?inspired finish: the body is lightly glittered (fine sparkle) to mimic the shimmer of cherry blossoms under moonlight. The trim (clip, rings) are finished in gold tone (Gold Trim / GT style) to enhance that elegance.
-
The nib is steel, so while not as premium as gold nibs, it offers solid performance, reliability, and is more affordable.
-
All the pens in this Shikiori Tsukuyono Minamo family (including Yozakura) are listed with F (Fine) nib in official Sailor product listings. No other nib sizes are officially listed for these colorways in Sailor’s Japanese site.
-
“Yazakura” might be a copy / transliteration error in some markets; Sailor uses Yozakura. If you see “Yazakura” in a listing, check if it corresponds to “Yozakura (11?0558?201)” to verify authenticity / naming.
