Sailor Shikiori Fairy Tale Fountain Pen Ink

Once upon a time, in a land far away...

Sailor's SHIKIORI Fairy Tale series are inspired by the four seasons of fairyland from tales that have been passed down from generation to generation. For thousands of years, people have sung and painted the changing of seasons. 

The inks from the Fairy Tale series are deep colors that are inspired by iconic scenes and creatures that appear in Urashima Taro, The Cowherd and Weaver Girl, The Tale of Princess Kaguya, and The Crane's Return of a Favor. 

Spring 
Tamatebako (Urashima Taro's Box)
He returned alone from the Palace of the Dragon King with a precious treasure
Urashima Taro returns to his village from the Palace of the Dragon King with a mysterious box gifted to him by the princess Otohime. The box will protect him from harm, but only if he never opens it.

Summer
Kasasagi (Magpies)
The magpies came together to build a bridge across the Milky Way
The Cowherd and the Weaver Girl (Hikoboshi and Orihime) were separated by the Milky Way river and were only allowed to meet once a year. As there was no bridge across the river, a flock of magpies took pity on Orihime and made a bridge with their wings. 

Autumn
Suberakashi (Long Flowing Hair)
As if to greet the princess’s long awaited return, the moon shines brightly on her jet black hair
Inspired by the long, flowing hair of Princess Kaguya, illuminated by the Moon. 

Winter
Kazakiribane (Flight Feathers)
A departing crane says its farewell by taking flight in the snowy landscape
A crane saved from hunters repays their saviour by becoming his wife. She weaves beautiful silk in secret, made from her feathers. Once discovered, she leaves him, never to return.
