Conversely, have the courage to discard what is not genuine.) The three elements are: truth, technique and beauty. That is the difference between ‘technique’ and ‘work’. The attitude of always challenging to a higher level while being backed by tradition). Beauty (Japanese aesthetic sense is sublimated in all products and corporate activities. We will continue to seek beauty that inspires the hearts and minds of those who use and carry our products.) The company aims to be the one and only fountain pen manufacturer with the trinity of the following three elements. New visual identity The anchor is a symbol of trust and hope. The ancient Greeks, from whom the word ‘Anchor’ is derived, meant ‘crooked arm’, and ancient people felt the invisible mystical energy and blessings of the gods in the anchor that held the ship together so powerfully. It has been and always will be the symbol of the Sailor fountain pen. The ‘anchor’ motif, a symbol of hope and trust, has been retained in the logo, while the strength of the company's technical capabilities and the delicate Japanese sense of beauty have been sublimated into the present day with the spirit of the early days of the company, and will continue to be sublimated into the future. The logotype is based on the beautiful graphics of the early days of Sailor fountain pens, when the spirit of the company's founding resided, and incorporates the Japanese aesthetic sense of finding beauty through simplification.
