Urushi is a delicate, organic lacquer from Japan, the quality of which varies by region, season, and harvest time. It takes skill perfected through years of practice to create art with it, and once properly cured and dried, it forms an incredibly durable, acid-resistant finish. 

The Pilot Custom Urushi fountain pen line exemplifies what it takes to master urushi, as the pens’ deceivingly minimalist design showcases a perfectly glossy finish—a feat only achieved with patience and years of training. 

If you haven’t had an urushi pen yet, make this your first. We have for sale a brand new Pilot Custom Urushi black with an 18-karat gold nib in FM (fine-medium). It comes complete with its box, papers, and other inclusions.
