Capless Raden
Pilot Pen created the World’s First retractable fountain pen in 1963 and it continues to be the best-selling retractable fountain pen in the market.
The Capless Raden combines this innovation with the natural beauty captured in traditional Japanese lacquerware, inspired by the light-reflecting opulence of the ocean. Using a Japanese decorative technique called ‘Raden’, iridescent abalone shells are hand-cut and hand-laid into Urushi lacquer.
The Capless Raden in 3 different designs: Galaxy, Minamo (Water Surface) and Stripe. Fitted with a Pilot rhodium plated 18K Gold Nib, it also includes our Converter 40 (which holds 0.4cc of fountain pen ink) and is presented in a premium gift box.
