Pilot Corporation of America proudly presents the 2024 Limited Edition Yukari - Bumblebee (丸花蜂). This pen, inspired by the theme of symbiosis, depicts a harmonious relationship between flora and fauna, capturing the essence of mutualism.
The bumblebee, with its slightly larger, rounded body covered in soft hairs, plays a vital role in pollen transportation. Found worldwide, these indispensable pollinators are embraced by garden enthusiasts for their docile nature and rarity of stinging. Their diligent foraging is celebrated as a symbol of intelligence and independence.
Blue Salvia stands prominently in the background. Native to North America, Blue Salvia is renowned for its vibrant purple-blue blossoms and symbolism of respect, wisdom, and familial love. Its sweet nectar attracts a ballet of pollinators, brightening our world. Easy to cultivate, Blue Salvia allows gardeners to experience the joys of planting, reflecting the interconnectedness and mutual support in nature.
The pen is exquisitely decorated with bumblebees collecting nectar, using the Hira Maki-e (Flat Maki-e) technique to capture pollen on their wings and bodies. The imagery of bumblebees fluttering around Blue Salvias employs a combination of Togidashi Maki-e (Burnished Maki-e), Raden (Mother-of-Pearl), and gold powder to convey movement and light. The classic cigar-shaped body is further enhanced by a #10 18-karat gold nib with rhodium accents, evoking the majestic silhouette of Mount Fuji. Available nib sizes include Fine, Medium, or Broad, catering to diverse writing preferences and styles.
The pen is enclosed in a box adorned with Hakone marquetry, an art form that mimics the intricate patterns of honeycombs using small pieces of variously hued woods. The Bumblebee is a testament to the hope that each holder’s days are filled with love.
The 2024 Limited Edition Yukari Bumblebee, a product of the renowned Kokkokai, embodies months of meticulous and passionate effort. With only 300 pieces produced globally and 69 pens available in the United States, this limited edition is a rare gem in the world of writing instruments.
