Sailor Pro Gear Slim Maruzen Nihombashi “Lemon” Fountain Pen
The Sailor x Maruzen Nihombashi Progear “Lemon” is a highly exclusive fountain pen, often released in small batches at the Maruzen Nihombashi store in Tokyo.
Inspired by Motojirō Kajii’s 1924 short story “Lemon” features a protagonist who finds solace from anxiety and illness by purchasing a lemon and, in a final act of whimsy, places it on a pile of books at the Maruzen bookstore in Kyoto, treating it as a “bomb” of color. The lemon acts as a vibrant contrast to his drab surroundings and his anxiety.
It features a distinctive lemon-leaf green cap and a fresh lemon-flesh yellow barrel, topped with finials inspired by lemon flowers and a matching yellow converter
This pen is from the 4th Maruzen Nihombashi (Tokyo) pen show release
