Pilot Custom Urushi 30 Maruzen Limited Edition Fountain Pen — Akane

Pilot Custom Urushi 30 — Maruzen Limited Edition | Akane

An exclusive collaboration between Pilot and the legendary Maruzen bookstore, the Custom Urushi 30 Akane is a study in restrained brilliance. The deep urushi lacquer finish is rendered in Akane — a crimson-red drawn from the ancient Japanese madder plant, distinctly richer and more saturated than a standard red, with a warmth that deepens under light. It is a colour with history, worn by poets and courtiers, now carried in the hand of the writer.

Limited to just 70 pieces worldwide.
