When people think of Japanese fountain pens, the big three iconic brands often come to mind: Pilot, Platinum, and Sailor. For hand-crafted premium pens, Nakaya—an offshoot of Platinum. Ohashido operated at a smaller scale sale. As a multi-generational family penmaker, its artisans crafted hand-turned ebonite pens on a manual, foot-powered lathe. Each pen is unique and equipped with a gold nib (typically 14k) that was custom made for Ohashido by Sailor. Ohashido fountain pens are beautiful writing instruments. Most feature an urushi lacquer and an ebonite section, whereas I have found that most ebonite pens on the market use resin sections. These pens that will enhance any collection. Feel free to reach out for further information.

This is a beautiful burgundy color urushi ebonite fountain pen by legendary penmaker Ohashido. The pen features a deep red urushi lacquer with a black cap. The 14k soft fine (S-F) nib is custom make for Ohashido by Sailor. This is a smooth writer and lays a true fine line, with a little added softness compared harder Sailor nibs. This nib size is comparable to a Sailor 1911S, although the pen's body is larger than a 1911S. I will include a new Sailor converter with the pen. The original box and papers are included.
