Pilot Maki-E Seirei-Nuri

[jandrese]

Here is my Pilot Maki-e Seirei-nuri pen that I purchased at Itoya in Ginza, Tokyo in full focus-stacked macro glory. I love writing with pen, which is the same form factor as a Namiki Yukari. From my 2019 post on this pen "The nib was expertly adjusted by the resident meister at Itoya and it is freaking perfect. Like, perfect. Just a light touch is needed for generous but far from gushing ink flow. The nib has the faintest hint of feedback without being intrusive. The lady working there is a savant!". Good stuff.

The seirei-nuri is a long-established design in the Pilot line-up. First models were in 1957 in the Pilot Super, then in the seventies with the Pilot Custom. The Custom can be occasionally seen for sale on Yahoo Japan. The inlaid 'thumbnail' nib is fantastic.

I'd love to get a red one but I've never even seen one for sale. Just pictures in books.

That cap lip is a fantastic detail!
