In 2011 to commemorate Sailor Pen's 100th anniversary, they released the limited edition Shima Kuwa Mulberry Fountain Pen. The Shima Kuwa is handcrafted from premier grade Mulberry wood from Mikurajima, a small island in the Izu archipelago which is famous for this very rare and precious natural material. Shima Kuwa Mulberry wood is often used in Japan for special gifts. A special design "anchor" clip has been commissioned for this pen - a symbol that is very special to Sailor. The beauty of the Mulberry wood grain is achieved using Fuki Urushi a deep burnishing process using Urushi lacquers from the famous Jouhou Temple. The pen is then decorated using gold powder Maki-e in the form of a wave pattern on the cap below the clip.
