The black plum tree (“ume”) is highly revered in Japanese culture. Very similar to the cherry blossom “sakura,” the plum blossom heralds the coming spring season. In spite of the winter cold, plum blossoms come to life in February. For this hardiness, they have become symbolic of good health, fortitude, and overcoming adversity. Sheaffer embodies these qualities into the durable design of a fountain pen.
Sheaffer silkscreened an elegant illustration of black plum blossoms on the black lacquered body and cap of this elegant fountain pen. A polished chrome clip, trim rings, grip section complement the pen’s simplicity.
