As he came into contact with many imported goods, he dreamed of making something that Japan can be proud of to the world. His passion and inquisitiveness bore fruit, and Ryosuke Namiki, who became a professor, obtained a patent for ink storage. This was the beginning of his flight into the world. After a visit to Europe, he developed a method of manufacturing fountain pens using lacquer to prevent the deterioration of ebonite over time. Led by Gonroku Matsuda, who would later become a Living National Treasure, he founded the Kokkokai.
The NAMIKI brand was quickly recognized around the world, and the company signed a European sales agency contract with the world-famous brand Alfred Dunhill. It takes more than three months to complete a single Maki-e fountain pen, and some go through as many as 130 steps to complete it. This was one of the moments when Japan's traditional techniques and perfection were recognized by the world.
Pilot Fountain Pen has been turning ideas that amaze the world into reality, starting with the world's first capless fountain pen, the Capless. While outsourcing of parts manufacturing is on the rise, Pilot is one of the few manufacturers in Japan, including the three major manufacturers representing Japan, that casts alloys in-house. In addition, they have developed a rare technology to mix and weld the metal used in the pen point, iridium balls. They were the first in Japan to do this in 1914, and since then, they have been developing and welding rare rare metals, which are considered to be extremely hard and resistant to wear.Iridium balls are as hard as diamonds and very difficult to mold. Pilot's stable pen point, writing feel, and durability come from here. The company emblem uses a lifebuoy to represent the spirit of "overcoming difficulties" and "strong bonds" of always facing difficulties and moving forward at the forefront of the times. After about 100 years, Ryosuke Namiki's proud products, "world-class" products, are now shining. Please enjoy the exquisite writing instruments that will accompany you in your daily life.
