Namiki is pleased to announce the launch of our special
Limited Edition Fountain pen to mark Pilot Corporation's
85th Anniversary.

The pen is named "Hiten" (pronounced "he ten") in Japanese and features a "Suien" or "Water Flame" cloud of mist atop the East Pagoda of Yakushi-ji, a temple that is a national treasure of Japan. This pagoda was built in 730, and is the only surviving building from the original Yakushi-ji Temple complex. Over the years, it has been restored and preserved to its original design, which is a rare occurrence in Japanese culture.

The "Suien" or "Water Flame" cloud of mist adorning the top of the temple is comprised of four sections of fretwork bronze (copper) plates. Three celestials, or angels, are featured on each plate and float amidst the fleeting clouds, which resemble flames. The 85th Anniversary pen features the angel in the lower area who is peacefully playing a flute. Beneath the angel is cascading vine foliage (arabesque) that is reminiscent of the Tathagata pedestal in the main hall of the Yakushi-ji Temple.

The Limited Edition 85th Anniversary Pen fountain pen design is executed using primarily Sterling Silver with stunning accents of black and gold. The artist used the Hyomon-style, Togidashi maki-e, utilizing abalone shells and gold to achieve this beautiful masterpiece. The 18 karat gold, rhodium plated nib ensures a flawless writing experience. And the pen comes presented in a wood box carved with a beautiful image of the Yakushi-ji temple on the outside, complete with an ink bottle with the number 85 imprinted on the cap.

With time comes experience and the 85th Anniversary Fountain pen exemplifies the expertise of the Namiki artisans. This product's design is rich in history and each pen is designed with pristine attention to detail, making each of the only 1,000 pens produced worldwide truly one-of-a-kind. In addition to being a treat for the eyes, it is also a pleasure filled writing experience and will please even the most discerning fountain pen enthusiasts and collectors.
