Created to mark Namiki's centennial, the Namiki Yukari 7 Gods 100th Anniversary Fountain Pen - Hotei-Son brings the joyful spirit of Hotei, the god of contentment and good fortune, to a finely balanced Yukari-size writing instrument. The smiling deity with his treasure sack and fan is rendered in luminous lacquer work that rewards close study, honoring a storied Japanese motif within a modern collector edition.
Craftsmanship & Design
Built on an ebonite foundation and finished with layers of urushi, the pen features traditional maki-e artistry using precious metal powders to shape depth, light, and texture across the barrel and cap. Highlights and subtle relief catch the eye as the scene transitions from warm metallic tones to polished lacquer grounds, a hallmark of Namiki's studio approach. The gold-finished clip and understated silhouette of the Yukari form allow the artwork to take center stage while remaining refined enough for daily rotation.
Writing Experience
An 18k gold medium nib delivers an effortlessly smooth line with reliable flow that suits journaling, correspondence, and extended sessions alike. The Yukari's balanced proportions provide a natural grip unposted or posted, and the Pilot cartridge/converter system offers dependable, travel-ready convenience with a wide choice of inks.
Heritage & Provenance
Namiki, the artisanal arm of Pilot founded in Tokyo in 1918, has long been synonymous with museum-caliber lacquer work and the Kokkokai atelier of maki-e artisans. This 100th Anniversary release within the Seven Gods of Good Fortune series reflects that lineage, uniting cultural symbolism with technique refined over generations. It is an edition conceived for collectors who value both the intimacy of daily writing and the quiet presence of fine Japanese craftsmanship.
