The Pilot Ishime Fountain Pen in Hunter Green unites traditional Japanese lacquer art with an understated, tactile aesthetic. Its softly pebbled surface catches light in a muted, organic way, while the deep green tone settles into a refined presence that rewards close inspection. This is a piece for writers who appreciate nuance in both material and performance.

Craftsmanship & Design

Ishime refers to a stone-texture finish achieved through layered urushi lacquer, creating a fine, grain-like surface that is subtly irregular to the touch and visually calming. The Hunter Green palette pairs beautifully with the texture, offering depth without gloss-heavy glare. Because the pattern is built by hand during the lacquering process, no two surfaces are exactly alike, lending each pen a quiet individuality within a cohesive design language.

The form remains classic and balanced, with clean lines that foreground the finish rather than compete with it. The result is a pen that feels poised in the hand and composed on the desk, carrying the unmistakable restraint of Japanese design.

Writing Experience

A 14k gold nib delivers a smooth, controlled line with the gentle feedback that many enthusiasts seek for precision and character. Available in fine, medium, and broad, the nibs reflect typical Japanese sizing, running a touch finer than many Western equivalents. Ink delivery is consistent and dependable, supporting thoughtful notes, long-form journaling, and daily correspondence with equal assurance.

The Pilot Ishime Fountain Pen uses Pilot's proprietary cartridge-converter system for easy maintenance and flexible ink choice, whether you prefer the convenience of cartridges or the wider palette of bottled inks.

Brand Heritage

Since 1918, Pilot has cultivated a reputation for precision engineering and an enduring commitment to lacquer arts in Japan. The Ishime finish draws on that heritage, blending time-honored urushi techniques with modern reliability, so the pen feels as considered on paper as it appears in the hand.
