Pilot Silvern Artcraft Ishidatami Fountain Pen
The Pilot Silvern Artcraft Ishidatami Fountain Pen draws inspiration from the traditional geometric pattern known as “ishidatami,” which represents the stone pavements found on old Japanese paths. Its engraved sterling silver surface evokes stability and balance, making this pen ideal for those who appreciate cultural symbolism, refined textures, and precise writing.
Design and concept
Part of the Silvern Artcraft series, the Ishidatami model features a carefully engraved interlocking square pattern that resembles cobblestone streets—symbols of endurance, structure, and heritage. The alternating polished and recessed surfaces create a striking visual rhythm and a distinctive tactile experience. Each pen is hand-finished to highlight contrast and refine the details of the design.

This fountain pen is fitted with an 18-karat inlaid gold nib, offering smooth, quiet, and controlled writing. Available in F and M sizes, it uses Pilot proprietary cartridges and comes pre-equipped with a CON-40 converter.
