Cheap ✨ Pilot – Fountain Pen Maki-e – Seven Gods – Ebisu (100th Anniversary Limited Edition) 🤩

Description

In celebration of PILOT’s centenary milestone, PILOT is proud to present – The Japanese Seven Gods of Good Fortune, a PILOT collection of superb fountain pens created through the collective craftsmanship of the KOKKOKAI group of Maki-e artisans.

The Japanese Seven Gods of Good Fortune are a group of deities who together bring loads of prosperity, health, long life and good luck to those who recognise them. These gods are auspicious characters that are not mythical characters but historical figures. Belief in the Seven Lucky Gods dates from the end of Japan’s Muromachi period, was widespread among the people of the Edo period, and has continued into the present day.

Ebisu is the only deity among the Japanese Seven Gods of Good Fortune to originate in Japan; his parents were the goddess Izanami and the god Izanagi, who created the islands of Japan. In ancient times, Ebisu was worshipped as the god of plentiful fishing, but over time he came to be worshipped as the god of happiness and prosperity who makes everything plentiful, from businesses to crops.

This fountain pen is adorned with the traditional image of Ebisu with a fukuzasa – a bamboo stalk believed to bring good fortune to businesses. In his left hand he holds a red snapper, and in his right a fishing rod.

This fountain pen has an 18K gold nib in medium with no.10 size. The barrel is Yukari Vest type shape made from brass and using with Togidashi-Taka Maki-e techniques. The fountain pen uses a converter-70 and weighs 37g.

Only 150 limited pens have been produced of each design worldwide.

Alongside with the pen, it has a matching 50ml limited edition ink, a leather pen wrap (inden), PILOT ink cartridges (6pcs in black), use and care guide, leaflet, Maki-e signature artist card, navy cloth and serial number plate.
