If you’ve never owned an urushi pen before, then you might as well go all out on a Pilot Custom Urushi Vermillion, a pen that, despite being oversized, is very well-balanced and offers a great writing experience with its soft, slightly flexible nib. 

Urushi, the sap of the urushi tree, is a sensitive material with a consistency that changes depending on the tree’s age, the season, and its surrounding temperature. Its delicate constitution transforms into one that’s strong and resilient after being worked on by a master artisan, becoming almost impervious to minor scratches, water, and oil damage. 

This is the kind of material used on the ebonite body of the Pilot Custom Urushi Vermillion, which comes with a No 30, 18-karat gold nib. 

We have for sale a brand-new Pilot Custom Urushi Vermillion with an FM (Fine-Medium) nib. It comes complete with its box, papers, and other inclusions. 

Capped: 15.46 cm.
