Sailor Sapporo Fountain Pens

Sailor Sapporo and Sapporo Mini
Fountain Pens

The Sapporo is one of Sailor's most popular and affordable models, offering stylish and attractive fountain pens that function as terrific everyday writers. From the sleek simplicity of the gold and rhodium-trimmed black pens, to the variety of solid, pastel, semi-transparent, and lamé Colors seen below, the Sapporo series has a pen to fit your taste and sensibility.

Sporting the famous Sailor anchor logo in metal on the top of the cap and showing bands around the end of the barrel as well as both ends of the cap, the regular size Sailor Sapporo is a modern classic. The simple sophistication of the clip and the well proportioned shape of the overall pen add to its functionality and sophistication. Measuring just over 5 1/2" with the cap posted, this is a mid-size fountain pen with an almost full-size feel. For the small size Sapporo, the Mini, see the bottom of this page.

For those looking for a truly compact fountain pen, the Sapporo Mini is the solution. Measuring just over 4" with the cap closed, but reaching more than 5 1/4" with the cap posted, this pen is both small enough to fit in most any pocket, while still large enough to serve as a fully functional fountain pen. Utilizing the same high-quality 14k nibs as the regular Sapporo, this cartridge-loading homage to the great "Tuck-Away" pens of the 1940's is a contemporary classic.

The Sapporo Mini is another great value. Retail $190. Our Price $152

Return to Sailor Main Page

Sapporo, Japan's fifth largest city, is the name chosen by Sailor for this expanding series of pens. Prior to the city's establishment, the area, known as the Ishikari Plain, was home to a number of indigenous Ainu settlements. In 1866, at the end of the Edo Period, construction began on a canal through the area, encouraging a number of early settlers to establish Sapporo village. The name, taken from the Ainu language, translates as "large river running through a plain." Sapporo is the most recently-founded of Japan's major cities, and a fitting namesake for this growing line of pens.

"Just to let you know...
I got the pen and it has already become my favorite and taken it's place in my everyday carry.
Thanks for everything...

"Hi Pat. I own many Sailors and agree that they have excellent nibs. The sapporro I received writes incredible. Another example of the entire nib being a sweet spot. Send my thanks to John for another home run! Steve Fenton" (02/13/07)
