Sailor Crayons of the Sea Ink Bottle - Eleuthera Island - 20ml

The Satellite Crayon Project is a special program in Japan that aims to share the beauty and nature of our planet to a broader audience. This special project extracts the beautiful colors from satellite photography and transforms them into different sets of crayons. In this limited collaboration with Sailor, they selected the 12 Sea Crayon Set and transformed them into ink colors including the following three sea bodies: "Syvash", "Eleuthera Island", and"Amami Oshima". On the packaging of each ink bottle, you may find geographic coordinates that will bring you to the location of the sea, as well as a stunning satellite image of the color inspiration.

Located in the Bahamas and best known for its scenic beaches, Eleuthera Islandis surrounded by stunningly turquoise-blue colored waters. The coordinates on the package: 24.98503, -76.36213, will bring you directly to this beautiful tropical island.

Sailor

Sailor was founded in 1911. The founder Kyugoro Sakata was given a fountain pen by a friend returning from the UK after studying at the Royal Navy. Hewas inspired and determined to start making fountain pens in Japan. Sailor became the first fountain pen company in Japan, and earned many more firsts in Japan -- first ballpoint pen in 1948, first ink cartridge in 1954 and first brush pen in 1972, etc.

In the 1970's, Sailor made a popular beginner fountain pen, "Candy," that sold more than 15 million within a few years. However, the number of the fountain pen users were declining as ballpoint pens became more mainstream.

In 1981, Sailor decided to go in the opposite direction from their "Candy" pen and began focusing on producing a higher standard series, which is the 1911 series we see today. Their focus on making a higher standard provides a great foundation for their later series of pens. Today, Sailor makes one of the most diverse lines of nibs, some of which are designed for specific writing purposes such as writing musical notes to one that is best for character writing.
