Namiki Yukari Fountain Pen - Seven Gods Fuku-Roku-Ju (100th Anniversary)
Once in a life time opportunity
In order to celebrate Pilot's centenary milestone, we are proud to present - The Japanese Gods of Good Fortune, a collection of superb fountain pens created through the collective craftsmanship of the KOKKOKAI group of Maki-e artisans.
The KOKKOKAI is a group of artisans that formed, in 1931, around the late Gonroku Matsuda, who was later to become Japan's most respected Maki-e artisan and a Living National Treasure.
Today, the members of the KOKKOKAIwhich include Maki-e artisans both working for and independent of PILOTcontinue to create outstanding lacquer art in order to continue Matsuda's legacy as a Maki-e master. With no KOKKOKAI currently in training and the aging nature of the current masters within a generation, this artwork will no longer be produced making these legacy items.
This Namiki Seven Gods Yukari fountain pen was produced by Maki-e artisan Masahiro Yamada for Pilot's 100th anniversary. It features the Togidashi-Taka Maki-e technique, as well as inlaid gold dust. It comes individually packaged in a wooden box with a 50ml bottle of matching limited edition green Iroshizuku ink and a leather pen wrap. This exquisitely lacquered brass fountain pen has a medium 18kt gold nib in size #10, is complemented by gold trim, and fills via cartridge/converter (a Con-70 is included). Only 150 limited pens have been produced of each design worldwide.

Namiki Yukari Fountain Pen - Seven Gods Fuku-Roku-Ju (100th Anniversary Limited Edition)
Fuku-roku-ju, one of the Japanese Seven Gods of Good Fortune, stems from a Chinese Taoist god said to be the incarnation of the southern polar stars. Taoisms three virtues are known as Fuku-roku-ju, which in written form is represented with three Chinese characters that make up the gods name: the perpetuation of ones descendants, health, and longevity, Today, Fuku-roku-ju is worshipped as the god of personal virtue.
The fountain pen is adorned with an image of Fuku-roku-ju, in which he has a long head and beard, as well as large earlobes. He is holding a gem in his right hand, and is depicted as expressing his gratitude for the help of friends through the inclusion of a crane and turtle bringing him a valuable cane and scroll.
The green ink echoes the color of the turtle, depicted on the fountain pen, on which Fuku-roku-ju is riding.
