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 18k 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.
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. Taoism’s three virtues are known as Fuku-roku-ju, which in written form is represented with three Chinese characters that make up the god’s name: the perpetuation of one’s 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.
As these pens are truly one-of-a-kind pieces of art, they are warrantied for life by Namiki.
