The CUSTOM URUSHI is undoubtedly one of the most remarkable pens from the Pilot brand. Made from ebonite, this fountain pen is meticulously coated with the prestigious Urushi lacquer, applied using the traditional Roiro technique. This lacquering method, a specialty of Japanese maki-e artisans (Kokkokai school), bestows the pen with a unique elegance and radiance. Urushi lacquer, extracted from the sap of the Japanese lacquer tree, has been used for millennia for its protective qualities once it has dried.

This lacquering method, a specialty of Japanese maki-e artisans (Kokkokai school), bestows the pen with a unique elegance and radiance. Urushi lacquer, extracted from the sap of the Japanese lacquer tree, has been used for millennia for its protective qualities once it has dried.
Urushi lacquer provides exceptional resistance to corrosion, scratches, and even impacts, thus ensuring the pen’s remarkable longevity, often lasting through generations. Its color changes with exposure to light, creating unparalleled shades and brilliance. Applying multiple layers—each requiring a drying period of 3 to 7 days—demands considerable time. Up to 20 layers can be applied, which may take several months to produce such an exceptional piece, completed with a meticulous finishing process.
Pilot has adorned the sizable CUSTOM URUSHI with gold-plated accents. Its cap is embellished with several elegant bands, including a central band engraved with the model name in black.
