Sailor Yubi Maki?E Fuji Blue GT Multi Functional Pen (16?0352?240)

Celebrate the harmony of Japanese tradition and everyday utility with the Sailor Yubi Maki?E Fuji Blue GT Multi Functional Pen. This writing instrument is not just a pen—it’s a wearable artwork, a symbol of culture, and a reliable tool for writing, sketching, annotating.

Design & Aesthetics

At the heart of this pen’s appeal is its depiction of Mount Fuji, rendered in delicate maki?e artistry over a rich fuji blue ground. The body’s blue lacquer provides a luminous canvas, evoking the sky at dawn or twilight seen from Fuji’s slopes. Over that, fine metallic powders (gold, silver) are hand?applied atop a printed base to highlight the contours, reflective glimmers, and visual depth of the scene. 

Gold?plated trim (GT) complements the design, accenting the cap, clip, and rings with warm tones that resonate elegantly against the cool blue lacquer.

Functionality & Mechanics

This is a multi functional pen — a versatile instrument combining two ballpoint pens (black + red) and a mechanical pencil (0.5?mm) all in one slender body. 

• Ballpoint tips: 0.7?mm oil?based ballpoint (black & red) 

• Mechanical pencil: 0.5?mm HB lead 

• Mechanism: Rotating or twist action to select function, and a rotary knock style for the pencil portion. 

Thus, one instrument elegantly handles writing in two colors plus drafting or note?taking with precision.

Build, Dimensions & Materials

• Body material: Lightweight aluminum with printed maki?e finish and hand?applied metallic accents. 

• Trim / Accents: Gold?plated metal components (clip, rings). 

• Dimensions: Approx. 14.5?mm diameter × 142.5?mm length (including clip) 

• Weight: ~?21.6?g 

• Packaging: Comes in an elegant Sailor gift box, with warranty/support documentation. 

The Philosophy Behind “Yubi Maki?E”

“Yubi Maki?E” is Sailor’s approach to making the beauty of maki?e more accessible. Rather than full hand?applied urushi lacquer, these pens use modern printing for the base pattern, followed by selective hand?application of metallic powders in key areas to evoke the depth, shimmer, and nuance of traditional maki?e. 

This hybrid method allows for consistent production, durability, and relative affordability while still preserving artistic character.

Symbolism & Emotional Appeal

Mount Fuji is an enduring symbol in Japanese culture—representing beauty, endurance, spirituality, and harmony between nature and human aspiration. Choosing a pen that bears Fuji’s image aligns the user with those values: calm, strength, and a sense of place. The blue tone speaks of serenity and depth, while the gold details suggest value, elegance, and tradition.

Ideal For & Use Cases

• Daily writing with flair: Ideal for professionals, students, creatives who want a reliable pen that also delights aesthetically.

• Travel, meetings, studies: Because it consolidates multiple functions (black, red, pencil), it is a compact all-in?one tool.

• Collectors & gift recipients: As a decorative pen with meaningful design, it shines as a special gift or addition to a pen collection.

• Cultural / artistic aficionados: Anyone who values Japanese craftsmanship, refined detail, or the symbolism of Fuji will find resonance here.

Care & Maintenance Tips

• Wipe with a soft, lint?free cloth. Avoid abrasive or alcohol?based cleaners, which may damage the decorative surface.

• Store in a pen case or pouch to protect against scratches or abrasion.

• Use only compatible refills (Sailor’s or recommended proprietary types) to ensure smooth mechanism function.

• Be gentle with the twist / rotate features — avoid forcing them.
