Pilot Pen celebrates 100 fruitful years with an exclusive range of high-end pens.
This year, Pilot Pen celebrates its 100th anniversary, a milestone event for the company known for its quality writing instruments. The brand was founded in Japan in 1918 under the name of Namiki Manufacturing Company. Drawing from its Japanese heritage, Pilot Pen released a limited range of exquisitely crafted pens made in the signature Maki-e style, which is characterized by the use of lacquer, and then sprinkled with gold and silver powder for decoration.
Only for Serious Collectors
The most luxurious offering from this range comes in the form of a $70,000 centenary set of seven pens, limited to only 25 sets worldwide, depicting the seven Japanese Gods of Good Fortune called Shichi-fuku-jin. These gods include Ebisu, Daikoku-ten, Bishamon-ten, Benzai-ten, Fukuroku-ju, Juro-jin, and Hotei-son.
