Overview
Pilot Custom Enju fountain pen takes its name and natural character from Japanese pagoda tree wood, long associated with good fortune and longevity.
Enju arrived in Japan as a medicinal tree around the time Buddhism reached the country. Its association with good fortune includes an alternative spelling that evokes long life. The wood has also been used in temple ornament and traditional crafts, giving the choice of material a history beyond its warm brown color.
For this fountain pen, Pilot impregnates the enju wood with resin to strengthen it, then shapes and polishes it to reveal the grain. The pattern differs from pen to pen, and the surface gains luster and depth with use.
Gold PVD trim complements the wood, and an 18k gold nib completes the design. Made in Japan, the fountain pen closes with a screw-on cap and accepts Pilot ink cartridges or a compatible converter for bottled ink. A converter is included.
