Sailor Pro Gear Slim Fountain Pen - Seasonal Waka Poetry - Autumn

Sailor has thoughtfully chosen four seasonal waka poems from the Kokin Wakasha (compiled in 905) and the Shin Kokin Wakashu (compiled in 1205), printing them onto fountain pens.

Waka is a traditional Japanese poetry form that elegantly expresses nature and emotions. These poems often focus on themes like the changing seasons and love, using simple yet deeply meaningful words.
