The Soul of Fine Writing,

Introduction
The Pilot Custom Urushi Fountain Pen – Prussian Blue is a breathtaking union of Japanese artistry, heritage craftsmanship, and exceptional writing performance. Designed as the crown jewel of Pilot’s celebrated Custom collection, this luxury fountain pen elevates the writing experience into something deeply personal, expressive, and enduring.

What immediately distinguishes the Pilot Custom Urushi Fountain Pen – Prussian Blue is its mesmerizing Urushi lacquer finish in 紺青 (kon-jo) — a rich, sophisticated Prussian blue rarely achieved in traditional lacquer craftsmanship. Creating this luminous blue tone requires extraordinary expertise, as artisans carefully blend pigments with natural Urushi lacquer through a meticulous process of layering, curing, and polishing. The result is a finish with remarkable depth, warmth, and elegance that changes beautifully under light.

Complementing this extraordinary artistry is Pilot’s oversized two-tone No. 30 nib crafted from 18-karat gold and rhodium. Revered among fountain pen enthusiasts for its luxurious smoothness and refined responsiveness, the nib transforms every stroke into an effortless experience of precision and flow.

For collectors, luxury buyers, and passionate writers alike, the Pilot Custom Urushi Prussian Blue is far more than a fountain pen — it is an heirloom-quality masterpiece designed to inspire for generations.

What Makes This Pen Special?
The Pilot Custom Urushi Fountain Pen – Prussian Blue stands among the most prestigious Japanese luxury fountain pens because it seamlessly combines traditional Urushi craftsmanship with modern fountain pen engineering.

Urushi lacquer is one of Japan’s oldest and most respected decorative arts, derived from the sap of the Asian lacquer tree. Each layer must be hand-applied, carefully cured, and polished over time to create the extraordinary gloss and tactile richness associated with authentic Urushi finishes.

The newly introduced Prussian Blue color elevates the Custom Urushi collection even further. Known in Japanese as 紺青 (kon-jo), this dark blue tone is exceptionally difficult to achieve because pigments must be blended precisely into natural Urushi lacquer without compromising the lacquer’s integrity or brilliance.

The pen’s oversized No. 30 two-tone nib provides an equally remarkable writing experience. Crafted from 18-karat gold with rhodium accents, it delivers exceptional smoothness, generous ink flow, and elegant responsiveness that fountain pen collectors around the world admire.

Together, these elements make the Pilot Custom Urushi Prussian Blue both a functional writing instrument and a true work of Japanese art.

Design & Craftsmanship
The Pilot Custom Urushi Prussian Blue features a premium ebonite body coated in layers of hand-applied Urushi lacquer. The rich Prussian Blue finish radiates depth and sophistication while revealing subtle tonal shifts depending on light and viewing angle.

Unlike synthetic lacquer finishes, genuine Urushi possesses a natural warmth and organic texture that feels alive in the hand. Every stage of the finishing process requires extraordinary patience and skill, with each lacquer layer curing naturally before additional polishing and coating can continue.

The pen’s oversized flat-top design enhances its commanding presence while maintaining exceptional writing comfort and balance.

Gold-plated trim beautifully complements the deep blue lacquer, while the oversized No. 30 two-tone nib reinforces the pen’s visual elegance and technical prestige.

The result is a luxury Japanese fountain pen that feels substantial yet perfectly refined — designed not only to impress visually, but to deliver lasting comfort during extended writing sessions.

For collectors seeking a rare handcrafted Japanese Urushi fountain pen, the Prussian Blue edition represents one of Pilot’s most sophisticated and artistically ambitious creations.

Nib Performance & Writing Experience
At the center of the Pilot Custom Urushi Fountain Pen – Prussian Blue is its magnificent two-tone No. 30 nib crafted from 18-karat gold and rhodium.

Available in Fine Medium, Medium, and Broad nib sizes, the oversized nib delivers an exceptionally smooth and expressive writing experience. Ink flows generously yet remains highly controlled, producing elegant line variation and remarkable consistency across different writing styles.

The writing feel is soft and luxurious without excessive flex, offering subtle responsiveness that enhances comfort during long writing sessions.

The Fine Medium nib provides balanced precision for daily writing, while Medium and Broad nibs showcase fountain pen ink shading and character beautifully.

Whether used for journaling, executive correspondence, signatures, or personal writing rituals, the Pilot Custom Urushi offers an experience that feels immersive, fluid, and deeply refined.

Collectors frequently regard the No. 30 nib as one of Pilot’s finest achievements because it combines softness, control, and effortless smoothness at an elite level.

Filling System & Ink Capacity
The Pilot Custom Urushi Fountain Pen – Prussian Blue uses Pilot’s cartridge/converter filling system and includes the high-capacity CON-70 converter.

The CON-70 is highly respected among fountain pen enthusiasts because of its generous ink capacity and reliable performance. Writers can enjoy extended writing sessions using bottled fountain pen inks without frequent refilling.

The system is easy to clean and maintain, making the Pilot Custom Urushi practical for both daily use and long-term collecting.
