Sailor ProGear Fountain Pen - Japanese Tea Ceremony Matcha Limited Edition FP
Description
The Sailor ProGear Fountain Pen Japanese Tea Ceremony Matcha is a fountain pen that treats writing as a quiet ritual, not a rushed chore. Inspired by Cha-no-yu, the Japanese tea ceremony refined by Sen no Rikyu in the 15th century, every detail reflects calm, balance, and deliberate beauty. You don’t hurry a tea ceremony, and you certainly don’t rush a sentence with this pen in hand.
Its deep matcha green finish echoes finely ground Tencha tea, traditionally whisked with a bamboo chasen, and captures the spirit of both Koicha’s rich intensity and Usucha’s lighter, frothy elegance. In the ProGear Large size, the pen feels assured without being showy, and its 21k gold nib glides smoothly, turning everyday notes into something closer to mindful practice than mere handwriting. This is writing slowed to its proper pace.
Designed with You (and Your Ideas) in Mind
-
21k Gold Nib Precision: You always enjoy a smooth, expressive line that never feels scratchy or hesitant, perfect for thoughtful journalling and considered correspondence.
-
Matcha-Inspired Elegance: The deep green finish reflects centuries of Japanese tea culture, so your pen looks refined without ever trying too hard.
-
Balanced ProGear Large Form: The size sits comfortably in your hand, giving you control and confidence for longer writing sessions without fatigue.
What makes the ProGear so good?
The Sailor Professional Gear fountain pen is widely recognised as one of the brand’s signature designs, valued for its balance of practicality and distinctive styling. In contrast to the rounded ends of the 1911 series, the Professional Gear features a flat-top profile, giving the pen a clean, modern silhouette. The cap and barrel ends are often finished with contrasting coloured finials — affectionately nicknamed “socks” by fountain pen enthusiasts — while the cap is completed with Sailor’s anchor emblem, a subtle nod to the brand’s heritage.
Measuring approximately 4.5 inches when uncapped, the Professional Gear is designed to be used with the cap posted for most writers. When posted, the pen offers a well-balanced feel in the hand, making it particularly comfortable for longer writing sessions.
