Pilot Ishime Fountain Pen - Black

Pilot Ishime pens are excellent fountain pens given rave reviews by fountain pen enthusiasts for their elegant colors, textured look, and smooth writing ability.  The Ishime is a hand-lacquered fountain pen with a 18kt gold nib. The word “Ishime” roughly translates to “stone path”, which refers to the design on the cap and barrel, which is hand-drawn into its wet lacquer. This Maki-e technique is called “Kawari-nuri," meaning “unique painting.” Urushi, Japanese lacquer, is textured like stones on the Ishime's black body. The Ishime comes in fine, medium, and broad.
