Words of our founder, Kugoro Sakata: “Live up to your responsibilities.
As we celebrate our 110th anniversary, we return to the words of our founder, Kugoro Sakata. To continue to provide society with the cultural pleasure of creation by hand through the act of writing. To continue to pass on this value. This is the responsibility of Sailor fountain pens, the first Japanese-made fountain pen, and we will strive to further expand our corporate vision and market.

The Trinity of Truth, Skill, and Beauty
True (We will continue to pursue only the “real thing” in an honest manner. Conversely, we must have the courage to discard what is not genuine.) Technique (No matter how many times we face it, there is no “perfection”. That is the difference between “technique” and “work. It is an attitude of always challenging to a higher level, while being backed by tradition.) Beauty (Sublimate the Japanese sense of beauty in all products and corporate activities. We will continue to seek for beauty that inspires the hearts and minds of those who use and hold our products.) We aim to be the one and only fountain pen manufacturer with the trinity of the following three elements.

New Visual Identity
Anchor” is a symbol of trust and hope. The ancient Greeks, from whom the word “Anchor” is derived, meant a “crooked arm,” and people in ancient times felt the invisible and mysterious energy and blessings of the gods in the anchor that held a ship together so strongly. It has been and will continue to be a symbol of Sailor fountain pens. The “anchor” motif, a symbol of hope and trust, has been retained in the logo, while the strength of the company's technological capabilities and the delicate Japanese sense of beauty have been incorporated into the logo, sublimating it into the modern age with the spirit of the early days of the company, and extending it 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.
