PILOT: Japan's Finest, Recognized Worldwide In the mid-1890s, Ryoichi Namiki, a graduate of the Merchant Marine School, embarked on a career as an engineer on cargo ships involved in overseas trade. During his travels, he encountered numerous imported goods, sparking his dream to create something Japan could proudly present to the world. This aspiration and his inquisitive nature led him to obtain a patent related to ink storage. In 1918, he founded Namiki Manufacturing Company and began producing and selling fountain pens, marking the beginning of a global journey. After a tour of Europe, he developed a manufacturing method for fountain pens using lacquer to prevent the aging of ebonite. He later established the "Kokokai" (National Light Society) with Gonroku Matsuda, who would later become a Living National Treasure. The "NAMIKI" brand quickly gained international recognition, forming a sales agent contract with the world-renowned brand "Alfred Dunhill" in Europe. Each Maki-e fountain pen, taking over three months and up to 130 processes to complete, is a testament to Japan's traditional craftsmanship and its acceptance on the world stage. Pilot continued to astonish the world with innovations, including the world's first capless fountain pen, the "Capless." Amidst the trend of outsourcing parts manufacturing, Pilot remains one of the few companies in Japan to cast alloys in-house, even among the three major manufacturers. Additionally, they developed a rare technology to independently mix and weld iridium-tipped nibs, a first in Japan in 1914. This rare metal, known for its hardness and resistance to wear, approaches the hardness of diamonds and is extremely difficult to shape. This technology forms the foundation of Pilot's stable pen points, writing feel, and durability. The name "Pilot" signifies the person who leads a large ship, embodying the spirit of overcoming difficulties and forging strong bonds. The company emblem features a lifebuoy, symbolizing this guiding spirit. Nearly 100 years later, Ryoichi Namiki's dream of creating world-class, pride-worthy products continues to shine.
