The Pilot Custom Urushi Fountain Pen in Prussian Blue brings flagship scale and traditional Japanese lacquer craft to a modern writing instrument. Its deep navy lacquer reveals quiet depth and luster, while the oversized silhouette is balanced by Pilot’s superb 18k gold #30 nib for an assured, expressive hand.
Craftsmanship & Design
Built on an ebonite core, the body is finished with multiple layers of natural urushi lacquer, hand-applied and polished in Japan to a refined, mirror-like sheen. Prussian Blue suits the form beautifully, offering a saturated tone that shifts subtly in changing light. Gold-plated appointments, a broad cap band, and a cleanly proportioned clip underscore the pen’s restrained elegance without distracting from the lacquer’s depth.
The Custom Urushi’s generous dimensions are purposeful rather than ostentatious: the girth provides a relaxed grip, while the gently rounded sections and precisely cut threads make extended writing remarkably comfortable.
Writing Experience
The heart of the pen is Pilot’s large #30 18k gold nib, tuned for smooth, consistent flow and dependable starts. Line widths follow Pilot’s Japanese sizing, typically a touch finer than many Western equivalents: Fine and Fine-Medium deliver crisp, controlled strokes; Medium and Broad provide an easy glide with satisfying ink presence. The proprietary cartridge/converter system ensures simple maintenance and reliable performance, and is compatible with Pilot’s high-capacity CON-70 converter for extended writing sessions.
Heritage & Provenance
Pilot has cultivated urushi expertise for over a century through its Namiki lacquer workshops, where traditional techniques meet exacting modern standards. The Custom Urushi sits at the intersection of that legacy and daily usability: a hand-lacquered ebonite fountain pen with the poise of a collector piece and the reliability of a true daily writer, made in Japan.
