Since then Sailor has achieved many firsts within Japan and the world such as developing the first Japanese ballpoint pen in 1948 and coining the word “cartridge.” They have also received the honor of being visited by Imperial Prince Hirohito in 1926. Now, Sailor is well known for their beautiful, high-quality resin Pro Gear fountain pens and multiple ink series that are enjoyed by enthusiasts at various stages of the fountain pen hobby.
