Pilot Corporation, née Namiki Manufacturing Company, has been making pens for 88 years. This, in Japanese tradition, marks an important milestone for the company. To celebrate, Pilot has commissioned a specially-designed, limited edition run of fountain pens that feature the delicate tradition of Maki-e craftsmanship.
In either Shishi-Komainu (Guardian Dogs – 88 pieces) or Nioh (Guardian Gods – 880 pieces) design, the pens wear the Japanese symbols of guardianship against evil. With their superb finish, these traditional lacquer-finished pens are certain to become collector's items.
