Sailor Pro Gear Slim Fountain Pen - Limited Edition Tea Time Series - Japanese Tea Ceremony Nerikiri

The fifth collection to join the Teatime Around the World series is Japanese Tea Ceremony "Cha-no-yu". The host boils water and stirs each cup of tea to perfection, delighting guests with a graceful ritual from start to finish with an air of peacefulness. This centuries-old tradition still appreciated today began around the 15th century with Sen no Rikyu, a person responsible for giving rise and the flourishing of Japanese tea Ceremony culture. He is sometimes referred to as the saint of tea. Everything from the teahouse setting, utensils, sweet delicacies and to the tea itself embodies the deep spirituality and aesthetics rooted in Japanese heritage. It is a traditional art to be enjoyed engaging all of the five senses.

Nerikiri is a category of traditional Japanese confectionery made by heating a mix of Shiro-an (white bean paste) and Gyuhi (soft mochi) to create a sweet, thick paste which is crafted into beautiful forms. Sweet delicacies are an important part of Japanese tea ceremony, with the role of enhancing the deliciousness of tea, and are selected to suit the season, theme, and style of the tea ceremony. Nerikiri are artistic, fresh confectionery categorized as Omogashi, the highest form of hospitality at tea ceremonies, and are perfect for pairing with Koicha.

The flat top cap features the Sailor anchor logo inset into the top finial. The cap screws to open and close and can post onto the back of the barrel when writing. The Professional Gear Slim fountain pen comes with a Sailor proprietary converter as well as two proprietary Sailor black ink cartridges.
