Pilot Silvern Artcraft Koushi Fountain Pen
The Pilot Silvern Artcraft Koushi Fountain Pen is inspired by the kōshi pattern—an iconic wooden lattice design found in traditional Japanese architecture. This motif, used in sliding doors made of wood and paper (shōji), symbolizes balance, harmony, and the subtle connection between interior and exterior spaces. The engraved sterling silver body evokes a calm, tactile elegance in every detail.
Design and concept
Kōshi refers to the grid of vertical and horizontal slats that frame many classic Japanese interiors. The Koushi model reproduces this pattern with fine engraving on sterling silver (925), creating a sense of depth, structure, and order. The carefully applied contrast between polished and recessed surfaces gives the pen a striking presence while remaining understated. Each piece is hand-finished to highlight the precision of the design.
Functionality and filling system
This fountain pen is equipped with an inlaid 18-karat gold nib, offering a smooth, silent, and precise writing experience. Available in F and M nib sizes, it accepts Pilot proprietary cartridges and comes with a CON-40 converter.
