Pilot, the parent of Namiki and Dunhill Namiki celebrated its 80th Anniversary in 1998. In order to commemorate the special occasion, Pilot has produced the "ShiSen" and the "Miyabi" set. 

The technical perfection found on these pens parallel to the work of the leading master lacquer pen artists from the 1920s. The design for the series comes from an idea found in the Heian period (794-1185). The Miyabi was produce in 55 sets and the Shisen (Urushi) was produced in 2000 pieces (combination of Black and Red Urushi) only. Both the Miyabi sets and the Urushi were sold even before they were made, once again reflecting how collectible these pens are.

Miyabi, translated into English means genteelness. There are three motifs in this series which flourished during the ancient Japanese dynasty of the Hei-an period between the 8th and 12th centuries. The first is called Kai-Awase, which is a shell game; the second is called Bugaku, which is Dancing Music; and the third is called Soushi-E, which is picture book. 

But this page featured the Limited Edition Miyabi Bugaku a.k.a Dancing Music.  These pens are fashioned from an ebonite material. Each pen is housed in its own specially designed Urushi lacquered two piece black box. Inside you will find a leather drawstring pouch to hold the pen along with writing paper, envelopes and a special bottle of Pilot ink.

Pen is new and never been used. The fountain pen has never been dipped nor inked. Comes with original box and paper. Buyer pays US$20 for the shipping. I accept money order, bank draft, credit card or even wire. Conditions apply for credit card.
